Gamerdude5448 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Is anyone else like this? When I meet someone and they later become my friend, for some reason, I make it my goal to know every single thing about them. Almost to the point where I'm unintentionally stalking them. Why do I do this?! Does anyone else do this? This doesn't just apply to people. It can also apply to video games and other things. Where you must know everything about the game just so you can say you know everything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattesty Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't like to know EVERYTHING, but I do like to know some stuff about them and eventually things just come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydrosugar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Well I most certainly don't do this with people. I may do it with a game or something if I liked it enough, but even then it's pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugTheBear Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Dude, I'm starting to think you're kind of a weirdo You smell pictures and stalk people. If the guy that shot up the Colorado movie theatre wasn't in custody, I'd think it was you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIRUNO99 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I just want to know enough. Not too much but not a lot, just enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawlCake1214 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Lol, I'm definitely not like that. I've known some kids for 6+ years that I talk to regularly and still don't know things about them. For example, their birthdays. Kinda sad, I know. But I probably knew it at one time and just completely forgot about it. I do have pretty bad memory when it comes to things that aren't too important.

I literally know none of my friends birthdays. I know the month for most of them though. I just have a poor memory in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehapoc Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I tend to go out of my way to know people's names and not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know my birthday? I tend to go out of my way to know people's names and not much else. That's a lie Tehapoc! You don't know my name! OT: not really like that at all. I'll find out just enough info on someone. Don't need to know everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydrosugar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 You don't know my birthday? Yours is conveniently on your profile. Just as Facebook tells me when my friends birthdays are. But I'd never remember anyone's without checking. I can't remember mobile phone numbers either, not even my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepydumbdude Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't even think I've googled any of my male friends. I have some of the attractive females though. I don't care about their likes or dislikes though just looking for slutty pics. I'm more of an alpha in my group of friends and usually pic this stuff we do. I think our most common interest is drinking because I know we don't like the same music and most don't play video games at all. If it wasn't for facebook then I probably wouldn't know any of the post high school friend's last names besides the common ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonsGoMOO Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Another thread that started weird... At first, I usually do this with games if I love them to death, like Left 4 Dead 1-2, and Red Dead Redemption. Also Batman Arkham Asylum/City. And certain movies as well. I watch them, then learn about them, whether it be fuck ups or a reference or a special character I didn't notice like Stan Lee, I watch them again and see if I can't pick up on them. Other stuff too, like who fucked up, got hurt, bad shit. I don't google any of my friends or family. Just doesn't feel right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spade. Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I sometimes do this. If I've been hanging out with this person for a while, I'll start to ask those type of questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayonTarget Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Nope sorry. I don't like people as a whole. There are a few exceptions but I could care less about 99.5% of people I meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdude1023 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 No I don't do any research into them lol. If they're really my friend, I'll end up finding out a lot about them anyway just by being around them a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceskater101 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I mean I don't want to know everything about a person right away. I want to find out more things about them as I get to know them. With video games that is how I am. I want to know every detail about the game. This also applies to books or movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoochy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Other than my girlfriend and a couple friends I've known since I was in elementary school, I don't get to know people very closely. Reason being, I just really don't give a shit. If I learn someone's name, taste in music, and a few hobbies, I'm good. I get why people try to learn as much about their friends as possible, and there's nothing wrong with that. I just prefer to know basic stuff unless they're extremely close friends to the point that they're boarder line family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFFreak1129 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I do that with movies or video games. Don't really do that with people though. I'll ask them about stuff but nothing crazy that I don't need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
