My television list consists of several reality shows. I know most people consider them mindless, but they appeal to me. I've always had a terrible habit of staring at people. I want so desperately to figure them out: why is this person popular, why isn't this person popular, why is this person so mean, is this person really as nice as others believe, why is this person picked on, etc. Since it's so difficult for me to get close to people in person, I guess this is a way to study their behavior, without the negative reactions I get from staring. I've really tried to break myself of this habit, in recent years. I never realized I was doing it noticeably, until I heard others talking about it.
