Others can’t help revealing themselves: all you have to do to understand this is to eavesdrop on peoples’ conversations. What is occupying their minds, their present concerns comes out in their speech to other people.
Sometimes if you know the person, what is left out is revealing. Other times you discover what is really on their minds when you listen. Of course, some people are closed books and keep their thoughts and feelings to themselves.
Even then, you have some idea how they are doing: ninety per cent of communication is non-verbal. You have to look past the words they utter.
For others, you have to sense what they are saying jives with their body language. In any case, most people can’t help revealing themselves one way or another. You just have to pay attention.

Everything you say (or leave out) reveals something about yourself. If you constantly use superlatives to describe every experience, my ears perk up.
The adjectives you use, also, reveal something about you. Your tone of voice exposes how you really feel about something. If your affect is flat, it could reflect depression (or something else).
I do not claim to read every person but I am intuitive (and feel my way) with every person I meet. Even if you are not, if you pay attention to the person who is talking to you, he/she can not “hide” from you.
Sometimes the things left unsaid expose you. Every person, every word uttered reveals some kind of attitude. Sure, some people are better at hiding their emotions. Even that says something.
All you have to do is pay attention to the person talking. Their body language can be revealing. Everything they say, do reveals something vital about them. There really is no place to hide.
