Real/Charicture/Normal/Plain

Is it just me or do people seem a certain way?

To explain what I mean, I see alot of people who I walk past and think, "wow, they look like a tv charicature (i know i cant spell)". They look like they are right out of some tv show or other; sometimes they appear as if all their character is right there in their (almost comicly) trendy clothing; sometimes they appear to be oblivious to the ammount of swagger in their walk, to the point where you wonder if they wont fall over. They almost dont look like real people. Hard to explain, but i think its best tried through comparison.

I see some people who I think of as looking plain, like they would be a bit of an effort to make conversation with, and that they wouldn't stand out too much (despite the fact that I do notice them enough to think about them). They seem like real people, but I can almost imagine they stop existing when noone more exciting is around for them to fill out the background. although i also imagine they are fairly polite.

There are others who look like "normal" people, they may be slightly trendy, somewhat confident or appear a little shy etc, but there is nothing about them that you think looks surreal. You think if you chatted to them, they may have done some stuff they found interesting, had a bit of a life, go places, have goals they are chasing after, people they dont like. Just normal stuff.

Sometimes I get a strong urge to talk to some of the people I see and think look sorta plain, especailly if they look a little distant or sad. I want to know why they feel sad, I want to talk to them and make them smile. It is very condescending of me. But I also think they may have amazing things to tell me, that noone has ever heard from them before.

I mostly dont like the people i see as trendy/overconfident etc. They seem like surrealistic parodies of humans. But they also seem like they would be very entertaining, but i think i would feel plain by comparison. I these people seem charismatic and I dont like them for it.

"Oh chip on my shoulder,
where did you come from?
where are you going?
why must i carry you to your destination?
Oh chip, be somewhere else." - to be said in a lyrical voice :p
