Do you ever feel an emotional connection to people you're close to?

Question

I feel like there is some sort of empathic connection with people you are close to. For instance, I can tell when they are lying, when they are sad, mad, happy etc. any of their emotions.

I feel like I can read people I am close to like a book.

Does anyone else feel like this?

I am a man by the way.

Answer 1

Yes especailly my family

Answer 2

Yeah.

Answer 3

Yes, sometimes I do feel that too.  I think everyone would be able to do it too if they just paid attention.  But people just dont.  God bless!

Answer 4

Yes, we get to know other people...what makes them mad, what makes them lie, what makes them sad.  Its like with my mom, (may she RIP), she used to get mad in certain situations.  So I knew not to push her there and tried to keep others from doing the same.  But I knew that if she even saw something similar on TV or in a movie she would get angry.  Yeah, we can "read" others based on our knoweldege of them.  

Answer 5

Yeah I know what you mean

...its normal to be able to do that since alot of people can relate to bad days, sad events and other stuff their friends go through
