Driving forces

What drives people to be the way they are? I am sitting in a room right now, as I type these very words. There are five people in front of me. They don't know I'm typing this. Indeed, for all purposes, I'm the ideal observer, placed in the corner of the room. For the past hour, all these people have been dancing the well-loved waltz of social contact...groups of friends interacting with each other. When I say groups of friends, that's exactly what I mean - closely-knit friends meeting other closely-knit friends. It's so interesting how they have a tendency to stick to their groups. These groups sit opposite each other, interacting with each other like two teams facing off. I'm guessing that a sense of security plays a strong role here - people feel confident with people they already know well.

How are people so different from each other? I find this amazing. What drives people to be the way they are? Why do some girls hang out like boys with you, and why are some girls typical girls? You know what I'm talking about, right? If you've watched kuch kuch hota hai, then you definitely know what I'm talking about, where Kajol doesn't act like a girl at all, and rani mukherjee is the "perfect" woman. See that dichotomy?

I don't even know what I'm saying right now, or what my point is. It's 4am rite now, and my brain is too muddled to make a point. Make of this post what you will. Tomorrow, I'll hopefully feel fresh enough to piece this all together. Until then...
