Q: Is there anything in particular, that you feel you don't understand about others?
A: I don't understand why most people are so dumb. I don't understand why people go apeshit over watching other people throw a football around. I don't understand why people circle a parking lot for 30 minutes to find a front parking space rather than park a little further away and take 2 minutes to walk to their destination. I don't understand why people like rock music or metal, the sounds are so discordant, ugly and destructive. I don't understand why people have no integrity. I don't understand a lot of things about how the typical person's thinking and emotional system works. It's just weird af. Humans are weird af. I don't understand why people put their cars on such a pedestal that they freak the fuck out if someone puts a single scratch on them. Let alone the fact that they drive 60 mph right next to other cars and maneuver within inches of other cars for hours a day, and yet remain so finicky about minor scratches or dents. Like it's just not worth all that meticulous effort.. I don't understand how people like pumpkin pie or sweet pickles. I don't understand how people can be so superficial and non-reflective as to ask "how are you" without really wanting to know how the person really is, I mean how can you indulge in such a superficial charade and an insult to empathy without realizing, or realizing it but not caring? I know everyone always complains about this, but unlike others, this is something I've never done. I don't understand why people don't think independently and are so mentally weak that they readily conform to the styles and mentality of their culture. I don't understand how people can be in an intimate relationship with someone for years, supposed to love this person deeply, and then inevitably break up hating each other, and flippantly extract the person from their hearts and move onto the next person and intentionally forget about them. If you really loved them, you could never be so flippant, or at least, doing so cheapens your love.. and even weirder, people do this serially. It's expected that almost every relationship will end in hate or at least you'll move on and forget about them, but people go from one relationship to another like this without even realizing it or thinking that there's something wrong with it and that maybe they should do things differently or change somehow. I don't understand how people can be cruel to animals (and let alone to each other). I don't understand how people can be indifferent about the environment or the fact that we live unsustainably and are on an obvious path to doom--doom not only for us but for thousands of other species. I could probably go on but I guess I'm finished thinking for now.
