Brother :you’re better than i am
Me :why?
Brother: you want it more
Me: people will always see it more with you
Brother: no

that’s….that’s just really strange to me.

and then this:

Brother: either people are sincere or they are not
Brother: as soon as they show signs of insincerity, i will not give them any say so
Me: you don’t give then chances?
Me: i think i trust people more than you.
Me: and believe in people more than you.
Brother: i think i see through people better than you do
Me: isn’t that the same?
Brother: trust is based on not knowing what a person’s true intentions are, but giving them a benefit of a doubt
Brother: me… i don’t doubt that they’re up to no good, cause i can pick up on the signs
Me: are you always right?
Brother: nope
Brother: but for the most part
Brother: it’s either i like you or i don’t
Me: can that change?
Brother: i don’t want to waste time with the grey areas
Brother: of course
Brother: but my circle is therefore intentionally kept small
Brother: and strong friendships are slow to develop
Me: heh.  i think i live in the grey area

eh.
