"Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up out of laziness."

I find it interesting how much Meursault's actions frustrate me even though I find myself relating a lot to him. This quote in particular was one I felt deeply, though I've disliked how he's carried himself for most of this book. I suppose it's easier to spot and critique bad habits in others than it is to recognize them in yourself; similar to being able to give others good advice but never following it personally. It'd interest me to see if people would have the same frustrations reading my actions/feelings in similar types of situations lol.
