Read "emotions revealed" by paul ekman. It's so cool, google his name and read about him. He can tell whether your lying or what emotions you are experiencing based on micro expressions. There is also a tv show that is an example of his life, "Lie to Me", it's on netflix if you want to check it out.

You will never really know what a person is thinking. There is no such thing as a mind reader. What you can learn by studying people is when they are not being real with you.
