nosiness

I have a tendency to want to understand everything people say and everything I hear, both at work and outside, even at a distance, even if it__ one of the innumerable languages I don__ know, even if it__ in an indistinguishable murmur or imperceptible whisper, even if it would be better that I didn__ understand and what__ said is not intended for my ears or is said precisely so I won__ understand it.

Unhappy people often insist on trying to uncover the full magnitude of their unhappiness, or choose to investigate other people's lives as a distraction from their own.

I'm heading for a clean-named placelike Wisconsin, and mad as a jack-o'-lantern, will get therewithout help and nosy proclivities.
