to me, there's a difference between being "known" and "understood". i prefer the latter. do i like being known? i suppose people can know many things about me but still find in incomprehensible. i like being understood. i'm usually comfortable with things familiar to me, a constant safety i can depend on. the stranger isn't that bad to me, but the mix of fear and curiosity i get when interacting with things i don't know makes me not have any particularly strong feelings.
