This was one thing that made me think "damn Fs are heartless!!". I cannot classify people in such a manner. My friends blur into my associates and my best friends are only called such because people kept pursuing me about who my best friends are. It's not that they are anything less than exemplary at ticking all the boxes to earn that title, it's just I never think in those terms. I'm a dog, one pat on the head and you're in my pack
Anyhow... the topic
Do you recall how you move from presumption (I'm not accusing here mind you it's just the word I thought fitted best) to the "reality" in regard to people?
Is it a case of arriving with the labels and trying to get a close fit, then noting the differences between the best fit and the subject?
