Here is something CRUCIAL about knowing yourself, being intuitive, talking to people in person and making eye contact and trusting your read on people and situations:

People cannot lie to you.

They simply can’t. Not in person.

They know you’re looking at them when they’re talking. You stand close and they can feel your presence when the words come out of their mouth. They can visually and intuitively see that you’re paying attention to their words and genuinely listening to them. So, when they talk, they tell you the truth - No matter how personal it is - mostly because they trust you but also because they know they have to.

Now, this is nothing but good. Because almost all people desire to tell people they trust the truth. But, it also illuminates your path with integrity and clarity, because they construct a reality around you where everyone tells you the truth. And, with the strength of a truthful conversation, you get to tell them the truth also and you both get to share in a real conversation.

And those people that cannot tell the truth? That have built a personality on lies, either to themselves or the people around them? They know that you will see them and call them out on any discrepancies. So they hide from you because there is enough people out there that are not paying attention or have built their own personality on a mirage. And, if you do meet people like this, they cannot look at you, not for any extended duration at least. Because they know you’re watching intently and they know intuitively that you will find the crack. The flaw. The truth.

So those that lie hide from you. And those that don’t tell you the truth.

Life gets pretty easy from there.
