I have a habit, and I believe it to be a common INFJ trait. I enjoy watching people and listening to their conversations. I don't typically consider it as me being weird or rude even. I'm simply entertained by observing how people act and feel in various situations. I've don't eaves dropped for the purposes of gaining information about specific people, or stalk certain people. Most of the time, I hardly remember what the people did or what they said, I just remember anything I may have gleaned from human nature from observing them. I've never even tried to do any sort of study with the people I watch, I simply passively observe them.
I've tried explaining this to some of my friends (those who are not ENFJ or INTJ), and I get a rather consistent result. They call me weird, stalkerish, and overall creepy for doing this. I try to explain that I feel that there's a difference between what I do and being creepy. Being creepy would be trying to gain specific knowledge about specific people, and I'm just gaining general knowledge about people in general.
So what do y'all think; is this being creepy, do you do this, how do you avoid appearing creepy to other people (if you at all bother)?
