I know what you mean, OP. I'm good at reading my friends, and they know it, but they hate it even when I try to use it to help them.
Of course, they hate it because I can tell when they're hiding something, and I can coerce them to bring it to light. They also hate it because more than half the time when they try to read me, they're wrong.
People aren't stupid, but they need to know not everyone can do everything.
OT: I won't be able to get a zombie bunker, but I do plan on camping in my attic. Just need to get it stocked with guns, food, and such, but I have a few years before that zombocalypse happens.
