There are a lot of disparate thoughts here. I don't think you can judge the state of a person's mind by what sort of graphics they enjoy. That seems like a mat

There are a lot of disparate thoughts here. I don't think you can judge the state of a person's mind by what sort of graphics they enjoy. That seems like a matter of personal preference. I'm pretty social and I think vector graphics are far more useful and more interesting than raster graphics. > People don't care about me if they can't have a use of me, so they won't remember my antics. This fundamental assumption, I imagine, makes it unpleasant to interact with people. Suspicion about the intentions of another person makes it difficult to cooperate and develop good rapport. Any girl who calls you a psycho based solely on your personality (not on your actions) is probably not worth your time. /2c

> This fundamental assumption, I imagine, makes it unpleasant to interact with people. Suspicion about the intentions of another person makes it difficult to cooperate and develop good rapport. Do you know what's the alternative ? Constantly worrying how others perceive you. It's a simple observation that people are much more interested in themselves than you, and they don't care what you do unless it affects them. Many human interaction guides suggest that to be perceived as an interesting person, good friend, even charismatic you should listen to people as they speak and ask thoughtful questions. I used to live like that - keep my cards very close to my chest. Among other things, constant worry nuked my sense of humor. Stopping caring (to a point) is a way to focus on things other than what others might or might not think about you. "If you want to be someone - be yourself" - an interesting graffiti near the place where I live. I know a girl so self-conscious she changed her singature to look better. I've gone wayyy overboard with poker face.
