It's strange its like I can tell what people are basically thinking I just can't utilize that information in any kind of productive way.
Hmm.. telepathy, eh? Are you certain you know what they're actually thinking? I also think I have pretty good people-reading skills, but I've found it has very serious limitations. The problem with body language is that, yeah, it's very easy to "read", but very difficult to properly interpret.
In order to interpret correctly, you have to be just like them, which is impossible. I find it's much safer to not jump to conclusions about what they are actually thinking, not without confirmation from other sources, and multiple sources... I often jump to conclusions that are very egocentric and paranoid, and I later discover I was totally wrong. You're probably wrong more often than you'd believe.

It feels like those behavioral patterns just never develop for me.
What do you mean by “behavior patterns”? I’m assuming body language? How do you know you’re not giving off tones of body language?
