Read Between The Lines” is an internet slang term used to encourage someone to look beyond the surface or obvious meaning of a message or statement and try to understand the underlying or hidden message. It implies that there is more to be inferred or understood than what is directly stated.

Example 1:
If someone posts on social media, “Im feeling fine ;)”, but their previous posts were all about their problems, one might comment, “Maybe you should read between the lines and reach out for support.”

Example 2:
When an online article claims, “This product will change your life,” a person might respond, “Don’t forget to read between the lines and check if there are any hidden costs or side effects!”
