Cues people miss

If you emailed someone and explained who you are. When you called them, they told you they didn’t know you. It means two things: they have not known you before, or they do not want to get to know you.

If you ask someone a question and they give you false or misleading information, you should be careful with that person. If, for example, they told you they had the training to do that, but they still can’t do it well, it means two things. Either they did not take the training, or they did not learn the material well.

If you tell someone I intend to study that or do that, and if they tell you that it is not realistic, it means they themselves are insecure.

If they tell you they are going to start a business, but it’s been six months, and they do not have a business plan or a plan for how to go about it. It means it is not going to happen.

If they say, "I want to get a job," and always fail at the interview. It means two things. They are not good at the language, or their level is too high.
