Blurring the Lines

I’ve never been good at reading people gestures. I can spot something minutely out of place from a mile away but the blatantly obvious always escapes me. Sometimes I just don’t see the signals people are making towards me, and other times I’m sure I read too much into what is just politeness, luckily I’m too gutless to act so I never make an ass of myself in those awkward moments. I have found a solution to stop me second-guessing myself. This will only help you if your vision is not 20/20. So to all you people that can see without glasses, sucked in this is one advantage that works in us blind fuckers favour.
I’ve taken the Dumbledore approach… No, I haven’t gone homosexual, I mean where he is always glancing over his specs. I’ve researched this, yes my life is that sad. The actor has used this trait in almost all his films, the earliest I’ve found is ‘Magret,’ but I’m sure there are more. Put away the contacts, stick your glasses on and when you start to wonder if you’re seeing more than is actually there, look over the top of your glasses and blur your vision, nothing is much better than something false, and if your vision is that bad, that’s exactly what you’ll see. Sure you don’t get laid as much, but I’ve not been laid and I’m okay with that. Why is it that of all the things in the world, humans are the hardest to understand? I’m spent a good portion of my life trying to understand human behaviour. I’m not a professional; it’s just a hobby of mine, like insulting people. Humans are unpredictable, many of their behaviour is readable, but emotionally speaking there is no way of telling what the human will do, or even what the human is thinking. I once though if I could read their minds then I would know for certain, but this is not so either. Humans act without thinking. The only solution is obvious, blind yourself to the possibility of misreading others, blur it all.
