Isn't it just wonderful when you discover a Hidden Depth to a person who you knew as only one dimensional before? Or you discover Backstory that explains why someone acts the way they do?

It's great fun yes. So much fun...If I could I would tear people apart piece by piece until I had their psychology and history all worked out...It can also be useful.

This is also very fun to do with yourself. This too can be useful.

BUT PEOPLE DON'T FUCKING DO IT.

Yes, you end up in the corner crying yourself to sleep.

Leigh: The feeling's different if it helps forge a positive connection or if it only pushes you further from them.

That's why when you tear people apart you do it with a detached objective state of mind where your only goal is "gain information". I need a lab coat for this...And a way to revive people like Mengele and Gandhi...

I'm not sure I enjoy it when I understand people. It's kinda disturbing how alien another human being can be.

If you want to understand people, just read some books on the social sciences. Understanding individual people isn't always worth it. Most of us are either boring or evil. But learning about the general facts from books is quite interesting.
