First off I wouldn't call "reading people" a bad skill. It makes things more depressing, not exactly difficult, I guess that is the problem.

Reading people I consider a good skill of mine. I'd say, overall, my best skill is empathy. I have some kind of adept understanding of my fellow Man. I may like them or hate them but I always know what just to say to endear myself to them. And them to me. Makes life easier knowing how to talk to people. The crazy ones are fun too. When you can put on any mask you please, strangers are incredibly enlightening to speak with. Perspective is everything.

Unfortunately, no matter who I'm with, I feel like a stranger, even to myself. That's where the bad skills come to play...
