I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

How do you analyse those around you and keep your sanity? It's not easy when you see how insular the majority are!

Here's how I do it. Lightly.
It works fine that way.

Sometimes I feel like a sociopath analysing people. I know exactly the things that will break them based on how they act. But I hate my mother, and she tears people down all the time. I will always keep in mind the hurt that that can cause. Besides I want people to like me and I want everyone I meet to feel good walking away from me. I know a lot of things about people really easily but I try to always be positive and help people, or even just stay neutral instead of tearing them down. So I guess thats what helps keep me sane and human.

Oregairu was an anime I found recently, and the male protagonist can really analyse people. It was actually really interesting how similar the way I analysed people was. He used his skill in a bad way a few times though. It made me start to think of the skill as a sort of superpower that could really really hurt people. Its hard isnt it, sometimes you want to help people but you can't do it without making them vulnerable.
yes it is daunting. the study of Human Behavior has dominated much of my intellectual life. many of the patterns I see, give me unhappy conclusions.

there are bright spots. there are ways past all this,
I am holding out some hopes
