I love people. I love watching and observing them go about their everyday lives. I love trying to guess what they may be thinking and feeling.
If you could give me a super power, I would want to be able to fully understand others. I’d want to know for sure what they’re thinking. How things make them feel. I don’t only want to know what they are thinking and feeling, but why they feel that way. Isn’t it remarkable how people react differently to the same situation? Each individual forms their own separate opinions about an issue. Sometimes similar, other times polar opposites.
Sure, now I can hear and see most people’s most people’s reactions, but I can never truly know exactly how they feel. Or why they feel that way. The closest I can come to it is to speculate. I will never understand why anyone else comes to conclusions they do, or the thought process behind that conclusion. I can hardly understand why/how I come to conclusions. I will never understand boys and how their thought process operates. I will be able to empathize with girls better, naturally, but even they will never fully make sense to me.
Don’t you ever want to travel into someone else’s thoughts to figure out more about them? To better understand them? Know for sure if they really mean something or are exaggerating just a tad? How they really feel about a situation - not just their fake way of pretending it’s all okay. Doesn’t that intrigue you?
I will never understand it. And as I wonder about all of this, I’m guessing you are wondering why the heck do I care this much and what more specifically do I want to know? You’ll never understand it either.
