Views

I love perspectives. I love seeing things from another persons eye, especially how they view other people. I know I've said this a million times, but its just really fucking interesting. It helps me make decisions and shape my own views by hearing what other people think of the subject. For example, several months ago I was wondering if a guy found me annoying, or if he wanted to be friends. I talked to a few mutual friends of ours and saw their appraisal of the situation. They said he was acting the way that he was because he had feelings for me, more than just friends, you know. I learned about how he worked, but I couldn't tell if I liked him too or now. I asked other people what they thought of it. I asked one of the same mutual friends and she told me that we were definitely each other's type and we should go for it. She saw his feelings as genuine, yet slightly reluctant. Another friend suggested the same thing, but she saw his feelings as more physical attraction than emotional, because she viewed him as a recluse sort of person, that never really opens up in that sort of way. Now, anyone would be overjoyed to hear about getting some action from someone they dig, but actually, I was more interested in the responses from other people and their reaction to the situation. (This was probably because I felt like I had the situation completely under control and was actually able to pay attention to other people.) At one point I actually started keeping a log of what people said, just for me to look back at in the future. Honestly, I cherish situations where I can get feedback. I value other people's train of though. Not so much opinions though - at least opinions pertaining to me anyway. Not too much at least. I'd like to say I keep a healthy balance.
