Dr. Gregory House is definitely an interesting character. Like the book said, he is very arrogant, grouchy, inconsiderate, and insensitive. I think that Dr. House is incredibly lacking in social skills. He seems to not know, or he doesn't care, about what needs to be done to have healthy and successful relationships.

I honestly adore the character of Dr. Gregory House. I think that his sarcasm and remarks are hilarious; however, I wouldn't not want to actually know someone like that. I think that one of the reasons why people watch the show is because they are viewing the character of Dr. House from an outside perspective, not necessarily from the perspective of someone who actually has a relationship of any sort with someone like Dr. House; therefore, they are able to focus more on his humor and his gift as a physician. People may also think that his gift as a physician covers up for his lack in social skills; because he is able to help so many people in the medical field, he's "allowed" to behave as he pleases.

It's funny how people with specific talents that many admire can think that because they're gifted they can behave as they please; I think some of these people think that their gifts are enough to draw people to them, but if people build "relationships" with them just because of their talents, then none of those relationships are actually genuine. Like we discussed on other topics for our posts, relationships are build on similarities, or complements of personalities, and honesty between the two people. This requires these people with gifts and talents to also be considerate and sensitive to other people instead of boasting in their arrogance.
