'Do you take interest in humans' was the original question. The question has been changed.

---
Interest, v.t. (Webster)
To concern; to affect; to excite emotion or passion, usually in favor, but sometimes against a person or thing.

Wherever I might be able to be helpful, I take great interest in others. But other than that, no, hardly at all.

I am interested in humans, yes.

Psychology, sociology and neurology are very interesting.

But interaction with individual humans generally interests me much less.

@ Spazzergasm-

(Completely off topic) I have a theory about your signature. Are you a vegetarian? Is it just Dada type humor? If not, do you mind if I ask what it means?

I would say that I am interested in other people, but more so as an anthropologist then an active participant. I find things like economics, politics, psychology, neurology, and all sorts of human related things very interesting. And of course I like discussing these things with other people and hearing their views.

However I really dont like spending time with other people as in going to a party and making small talk. So, i guess it depends on what exactly you mean by taking interest in humans.


I can't explain it better. But sometime I like small talk also (unless when people say "talk to me don't psycanalize me :P )
After that. I'm interested in what humans think far more than in what they feel (and I actually feel strange that many think and feel different things)
