@Snapai (me) / @Snapimation (art)Question for folks on here. When you think about other people (other than face to face) do you usually:
• Think about their relationships with you and what you could talk about or do together? or
• Think about their relationships with other people, and what they might talk about or do with others?
My suspicion is that there are plenty of people who do each of these, but that each person primarily only does one or the other. I don't know of any personality test that checks this or what it would imply, psychologically speaking, but if anyone knows any existing terms related to this, let me know! :D This has more to do with something I'm researching in art technique, rather than sociology or psychology tho'.

Among others, I suspect this is the foundational mental process behind storytelling and characterization - and if I can learn it then I can get much better at writing/inventing characters.
But then I suppose it depends on what kind of stories you want to tell, the ones that focus on unusual people in ordinary situations; or on ordinary people in unusual circumstances.
