people are weird

maybe that’s just me thinking too much into stuff, but whenever i look into the eyes of another human, i wonder if they’re actually real and if they are, what kind of life they lead, it’s so weird to me that everyone as an individual is real, so sometimes i like to stop and look at it all, look at how people react in conversations and try and read their emotions, i just feel like it’s so interesting to me

That's a good sign that you don't have the worst mental illnesses out there (that lack empathy). In the past I've assumed that everyone is like us, inside, at least somewhat but obviously nothing could be further from the truth. In all the different experiences that shaped us all, there is just no way we are remotely alike. If we're from the same culture, then there will be similarities that people relate to.

On the other hand, I believe something at the core of each person is, is we all want love. Even psychopaths want it on a certain level. I'm learning much too late in life but it's important to observe before you jump into something. It's always good to be cautious but sometimes it's almost impossible to detect severe mental illness, the dangerous kind to be around.

@Angelwarfare i suppose so, looking around once in a while never hurt anyone, if i sit down and let life just go by with all the opportunities and meeting different people going with it, will i even really no the real meaning behind truly loving someone so much you would risk your life for them, someone who you don’t know and will never fully know either, you will never truly be able to know absolutely everything about someone, even if they are your sibling or parents or something
