If you're finding it too hard just act like an asshole. That's a pretty standard human trait.

[Sometimes they don't even do that. And sometimes they do it too much! How will he ever pretend.]

I've noticed that.

[His tone might have the faintest bit of humor in it, because yeah, that's definitely a pattern he's noticed. Part of him is inclined to be forgiving now that he understands better the effects emotions have, but the other part of him just puts it as another entry on his mental list of 'why most humans are terrible.']

Is there a particular reason why it's such a prevalent behavior?

We don't deal with emotions well.

Would you rather piss someone off so they leave you alone and don't ask about it - or explain in embarrassing detail why you're upset in the first place?

A lot easier to be a jerk.

You have your entire lives to learn to deal with emotions.

[Is it really that hard? If so, he's... Not sure what kind of hope he's going to have in figuring them out himself.

The second part of that, however, makes sense.]

It is easier, although counterproductive.

[Connor's getting the 'hypocrisy' part of being human down pretty well, at least.]

And then we die without figuring out how they work.

[Emotions are hard man. There's a lot of them and they overlap and don't make sense and they're awful. 3/10 - do not recommend.]

Short term gain versus long-term results. We're jerks and we're also lazy. You do not want to be one of us.
