Do you ever find people interesting from a distance ?

@Stark I'm glad you found it helpful. It's definitely a complex topic with no easy answers..

Thank you for BA. :)

@SW-User yeah, there were many great answers. I haven’t been myself in a really long time, I’ve had a negative outlook on anything and everything even this topic is pretty negative or atleast I made it negative. Your answer was just really positive and spot on, maybe people just rather the fantasy over reality because it’s just easier and makes more sense but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better.

@Stark If you haven't watched it already, there's a very good exchange on this very topic in Good Will Hunting, I think it says it perfectly.

Fantasies have their own consequences too, though. They also can be too hard to get over if you've invested in them so much for too long.

There's living in dreaming but there's also living in reality, it's okay to do both, it can be a neat balance. :)

@SW-User sometimes


well said

@Stark Thank you.

@DarlingSelah 😂 Funny, but true figuratively as well as literally.

@DarlingSelah 🤣 you’re so funny. I was speaking more of personality than appearances. For example, brief interaction with someone occasionally but not enough to figure them out but enough to be curious about them.

@Stark some people, yeah. Its rare for me though. Theres so much more to people than what they put out there.

@Stark Meh. Creepy as it may sound, I think it largely comes down to that I'm a writer, I'm always at least subconsciously picking people apart and finding their traits and motivations, trying to extract their character and voice to then be able to make realistic multi-faceted characters of my own from.

@UndeadPrivateer I don’t think that’s creepy.

@Stark Haha, it always sounds creepy to me when I say it but I don't think there's a much better way to phrase it. lol. Thanks.

@Allelse Umm?

I take it you watch alot of Steven Seagal.

@Allelse You were very insulting and now lacking a lot of meaning. I guess this is another one of your facts, but I won't moan about we got off on the wrong foot.

@SW-User literally.

@SW-User those are the one in a million. There’s millions who may seem interesting but actually aren’t and then there’s that one person who’s just fucking brilliant even after breaking that distance.

@Stark yeah.. true

@silkandlace omg. I use to do that all the time I do it more on here than I do in person. I use to do it in person a lot it’s nice

@whateverhappens on here or in person doesn’t really matter. I do agree many users on here are...the same on here

@Stark in person id watch from afar but when people are with their friends their true colors show so wouldnt take long or be hard to figure them out

@SailorMarz I think it’s just the high expectation people have towards you makes you feel that way.

@Jackaloftheazuresand Figuring them out as in getting to know them, you don’t just automatically know people you get to know them. Some people I care to get to know, some I don’t, and some I don’t want to know because I have this idea of them already created in my head of how they are that I don’t want ruined.

Are you saying you’re just not interested in getting to know people at all?

Some people can accept any physical appearance, well I can accept any personality. It comes from a core flaw in myself where I can't trust anything to be permanent or true.

@Jackaloftheazuresand makes sense

@SW-User only because they just end up being disappointing.
