You're interesting!

I think I'm quite a people person. I like people. I think people are interesting. You're a person. You're interesting, yay! There's always something, however subconscious it may be that relates to a human action, some emotional response, something on some weird level that tells them they should, or shouldn't do something because of the reaction of something else. People listen to that little voice way too much, or really not enough and it holds them back or pushes them towards something essentially detrimental. There are people who care too much, too little, balanced people, eccentric people. People are interesting, right?

One thing that I find really interesting, that I've noticed especially with my experiences and with the people around me is that people often want to tell you things, but they don't. You know they need someone to know, but something's holding them back. It's hard to explain, but, for example, I have a friend who was going through some crap and wanted to tell me, but he didn't until a while later because he didn't "want to shit on my day". Of course, I would never have minded, but it's things like this that make me wonder. I think that sometimes people won't tell because everything seems much more real when you say it aloud. It's hard to face things sometimes, no matter how big.

I have a theory that sometimes people use what you've been through to not tell you something so that they don't have to face what they're going through so completely, does that make sense? I mean, generally, some people are more open than others, and that's fine, that's good, but sometimes you can just tell that something is up. I don't know about you, but I don't like seeing people looking unhappy.

People deal with things in different ways, and I think that diversity, that kind of... uniqueness as it were, is really quite fascinating. Some people avoid facing things, and some people never shut up, and there are those people that suffer in silence. I think that's probably why I'm such an extrovert. The way people behave is really really cool, each person is different to the next and the more people you speak to the more you notice it.

I try and help people as much as I possibly can, but you can't help them unless they want you to. Sometimes it's hard to remember that, but it's just a given thing. You can scream, shout, plead all you like, but unless they're ready to face a problem, they won't. I know that pretty first hand. I'm not sure if I'm actually saying what I'm trying to say, so here is probably a good place to stop... yeah...
