Interesting. I'm a poor liar myself, for the exact opposite reason - I am hypersensitive to the emotions of others... I can read the smallest emotion in inflection of voice or slight muscle movements in a face, and therefore can also read the damage that lying does to them.

I guess being a good liar requires being sensitive enough to know when your audience is receptive and when it is skeptical, but not so sensitive that you care what affect the lie has on them. Someone ought to dissect a Clinton or two and see if it has a biologial basis!

Has it ever occurred to you that when you think you are reading someone's emotion in inflection you are wrong most of the time?
