All I do is watch people I don't give a F*#K

You see what I did with that title? See how culturally relevant I am? Oh my stars I am so hilarious everybody loves me.

Enough with the obvious. I was sitting in Ochem yesterday barely staying awake when I spied my TA across the room sitting with all of the other TAs for that class, and I noticed something peculiar about him...He had his arm almost around the TA (also male) sitting next to him, and if I'm not mistaken I think that he was basically hanging on every word that the other TA said.

Now, obviously I'm probably wrong about the two of them and they're probably just good friends, but thinking about my observation throughout the rest of the day prompted me to come to an interesting conclusion about myself.

When times are tough or I need to do some soul searching or I'm looking for a little more self awareness concerning my life, I turn to people watching for the answer. Many a time have I been watching a person or group of people and I have projected my thoughts onto them. If I'm looking for personal enlightenment about myself I'll look for somebody doing something similar to what I would do, and I'll just watch them for a little bit and let my mind wander to thoughts about myself. If I'm looking for interpersonal relationship advice from my psyche I'll look for a group of people that resemble my friend group and I'll do the same.

I'm not sure if it's normal, and I frankly don't care, but realizing this about myself is pretty interesting I think. What this observation says about why I was watching the two TAs is probably neither here nor there. Probably.
