dependent perceptions

"Sometimes you see someone doing something that does not fit at all with your idea of that person. You realise that, a lot of the time, you don't really know people, even one of your best friends.

Instead, you get to know a little bit about that person--the things they want to reveal, or inadvertently reveal--and then you make up a whole lot of rubbish that's your idea of the person. So it's not all that important who people really are. Honestly you could end up spending your life with almost anoyone, and it wouldn't matter who--because the person they are to you is totally dependent on your view of them."
