    This is a rare skill? I thought this was more or less normal across all people. Damn, maybe I’m the naïve person here… 🤔

    Your last statement really has me thinking right now, like does anyone else even understand empathy, love and care, even across disabilities and even species anymore?

      If you’d assume practically everyone (say, 95 % of people) are able to do something, and it turns out only 60 % can, then that already counts as shockingly rare. So, even though more than half of people can do something, and the ones who cannot are a minority, it can still be “shockingly rare” that people actually can do it.

      In this case I’d guess it’s entirely possible that only a third or a quarter of people are able to reasonably read the body language as told here. But, @[email protected] can give a better estimate of this than I can, I believe.

      Yep, shockingly rare. So much I can’t explain it to others… They look at me like I’m talking witchcraft lol
