    My understanding of the phrase "reading" someone is mainly that it implies how to judge, interpret, or understand someone's emotions, persona, intentions, or general character traits. Usually people who I think are "hard to read" are those who are very guarded of themselves, and make it difficult for people to get to know them well by revealing what they are feeling or thinking. From my experience, people like this can almost have two different personalities, an extroverted side that they reveal to people and the other side being the person's true, inner self.

    • Or hard to read because they have certain disabilities? Like myself.
