She doesn't recognise individuality beyond her own... people are just "there".

I don't know what Lewis G is though. Like I said, can't be a narcissist because he understands other people intuitively, more than anyone else this year and frankly more than most people in general and that's a form of extreme empathy... but not the good kind, because he's not a caring person and uses those observations either A) because he's playing some sort of game or B) purely for his own amusement.

If it's B), it might be some variety of sociopathy . If it's A) then it just is what it is and he has some sort of game plan.

I do know that he's one of the more (if not THE most) intelligent housemates in there and yet he for whatever reason acts like he's the stupidest. Hmmm.

..he doesn’t understand her though...he just knows her buttons press easily so he aims to purposefully push them...if he understood her then he would be getting a rise out of her constantly and he’s not...she’s able to ignore him...why is that..?..because he doesn’t understand her, has no depth of understanding people...he just plugs away and eventually that rise will come because it’s no great shakes to realise she’s quite vocal....a child could have worked that one out, TS...
