I learned around 3rd/4th grade how to notice when someone is
   about to try to overpower me "thanks" (but no thanks) to bullies
   of various kinds. Someone sweet-talking raises my skeptical
   flags. Certain body positions. A way of looking. Stuff like
   that. So by the time I was a teenager, I knew when I had to make
   an exit out of a situation that was starting to 'turn'.
