Back on track?

What do you have to know to say you know someone well? (Linds)

I would say that knowing someone well, makes them predictable. Although predicatability may not always be a good thing, when you know someone well, you know their behavior, and their responses to certain stimuli. There are levels to it though, some superficial, some deeper. in a sense, you know how that person is wired. You know how the neurons are going to tick off and respond to a certain event, statement, etc. *shrug* on some level its impossible to know people. We know people ultimately through our own experience, thus there is a certain amount of spontenaety involving the behavior of others, because we can never actually get in their head. We can only predict their behavior patterns, based on their similarities and differences with our own.
