I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Being a quiet person comes in handy when observing people. I'm in a study group in physics and they're all talking to each other and I'm hear just listening and being amused. It's quite fascinating hearing how they interact with each other and the stories they share.

Observing to learn is good.
Observing to judge is not.

Be mindful of which you are employing.

Yes, you're right. I guess I was too caught up in the moment to express what I mean properly. I do not mean to judge them. Maybe I do it without trying? But I was more interested in their language: how they spoke to each other, how they explained their stories and opinions, and how they moved from one subject to another. It was just cool to watch, and I hope I can one day engage in conversation the same way, as easily and comfortably as they do.

I know what you mean. I learn a lot watching other people, as long as I am empathetic towards them. I liked how you described what you see. I hope writing is in your future as I see potential, observation being a big part of it.

Thank you for the writing compliment. I gave up writing a few years ago because I didn't think I was good enough to explain what I wanted to say. So the compliment means a lot :) Maybe I will try writing again since it has been a few years.

I sincerely hope you do. Everyone has a story to tell. Your words are your own, neither good nor bad, which is what makes them special.
