I really enjoy getting to know people. I like to find out about people, what makes them tick, their interests and why they think the way they do. I can meet someone in the street and really invest in the conversation because i really enjoy getting to know them. How about you guys?

Not particularly. I'm not sociable IRL and many people I don't care to get to know. I find that many people are horrid but I am also a great reader of people.
So I am into the psychology aspect of people because I'm observant and inquisitive. Sounds creepy but I often get to know someone by watching them if they're within my realm of perspective (so I'm not invading personal space) instead of carrying on a conversation. I do converse with people on the internet sometimes though obv because I am highly opinionated. I constantly question the why and how of things. You could think of me as a female Dr. House..trying to solve the puzzle except way less intelligent.

I used to enjoy getting to know people until I read Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
After applying his principals to my observations for years, I've learned that the majority of people are self serving and are always just looking out for number 1.

I think I prefer knowing people to getting to know people. But, I do agree that people are very interesting.

Same here. I hate cliques. And no they don't end in high school. Wheather its done unintentionally or intentionally, they suck. I don't mind getting to to know people although I get turned off hearing things I don't want to hear. And sometimes, it'd be rude to just walk away
