I am very perceptive, but it is usually difficult for me to know how someone is thinking or feeling unless they expressly inform me with words. Just the other day at the gym, there was a guy who was having trouble with the treadmill. I assumed he needed help. What I should have done was get off my stationary bike and tried to help him myself, but instead I flagged a trainer and said that the guy needed help. What does the guy on the treadmill do? He states that he does not need help and continues to struggle with how to work the machine after the trainer walks away. It made me feel stupid.
