He is highly intelligent academically but socially very awkward.

He seems very childlike to me...like a teenager

 

[LyndyLoo]

Listening to this so far..I find Dr. Reid very congenial..JH appears to be somewhat comfortable with him...

This is the first time I have ever heard that JH had "Friends" ????Car pooling when partying etc....Wonder why nothing has been heard from them post massacre??

I also want to remind...I don't think that JH even know's just how much Information that Dr. Reid actually knows..so appears he's ( JH) is being somewhat honest in his answers...so far... As to friends..I wonder about that ( accept his girlfriend of course) ..

Me too. Which might be why I felt a bit sad when I started watching the video. I'm a mother to teens. And i'm a bit soft!
