Agree with 2nd anon. And first anon, if you wish to make a point, please try to make your comment look halfway thought out and reasonable instead of just half a page's worth of overly emotional gibberish. People like to disreagard overly emotional gibberish.

Also I would like to point out how very easy it is to consider people non-entities until you meet them, people can hear about mass slaughters in thirdworld countries, shrug it off and go about their daily lives like nothing happened. It doesn't really affect them until its someone they know or know of (in the case of celebrities). This is pretty much what Azula's doing when she fights, the unstated mindset is along the lines of "not my ally, not a person." Until her breakdown when it goes to "OMG everyone's out to get me."

And we mustn't forget her extreme patriotism. She does a lot of what she does "for firelord and country" at least nominally. We've only had two episodes of insight so it's hard to know her reasoning. But really, she's just doing what most government intelligence agencies do. infiltrate, conquer, and exterminate (especially dangerous traitors).So the Fire Nation's equivalent of the CIA is AAF (Azula and Friends)

Just ask the Gaang, Azula's Double O S***. XD

Also Azula has trouble with cutting loose, as evidenced in S3E5 (the Beach), while she is capable of extremely accurate psychological diagnosis and is an expert at manipulation, her people skills quite frankly suck. Ursa was the one who would have been in charge of showing Azula how to handle her emotions and get along with people since Ozai did everything else as far as education goes, but because Ursa was also the only one who disciplined Azula, they really didn't get along that well, so all that social training pfft. Not happening. Once Ursa was gone, the only people left for Azula to learn emotion and social skills from were the snakes at her father's court, so of course she got a crash course in manipulation and lying. The stress of never being able to cut loose and relax because she didn't know how is I think part of what triggered her mental breakdown. You stay wound that tight long enough, something in the attic's gotta give.
