Amir knows exactly what he is doing. Amir is not too young or stupid to realize what he is doing is wrong. When you have to think about something this means you know the outcome of your actions and that is what Amir is doing. When Amir does something wrong he tries to avoid it so that he doesn't have to think about it anymore. If he didn't know what he was doing was bad he wouldn't be in such a rush to put it behind himself.

Amir's emotional intelligence with sympathy is a low score. He begins to completely ignore Hassan and try and push him away. He does not once ask if Hassan is okay. Hassan has become depressed and will not communicate with his father, baba, or Amir. It's obvious Amir's relationship management is hard for him, because he can't decided if he wants to consider Hassan a friend, nor does he know how to deal with him now. Amir knows he should of helped Hassan, but he was not sure of giving up a part of himself to help him. Amir has become grumpy, and distant from everyone because he knew what he did, or didn't do, was wrong.
Amir has been in a constant battle between his friendship with Hassan and quest for his father's love. He finally made a choice ( which he was well aware was a bad choice) to turn his back on Hassan during a pivotal moment in their friendship. He sacrificed his friendship so his father would finally give him the attention he had been yearning for so long. This event clearly shows that Amir's emotional intelligence has hit rock bottom.
Amir lacks greatly in understanding his emotions. At this point in the book, he is leaving his friend behind. This is not the right thing to do even if it is for his father's love. Amir is still very young, but there is no age limitation on friendship. Amir should stand up for his friend Hassan, not ignore him. Hassan does not deserve this long lasting relationship to end. Amir does not realize that at this point in the book is when Hassan would need him the most. Amir does not realize this and he should be ashamed. He has no excuse to disown his friend because of his selfishness. In my opinion he should "man up" by telling his father the truth and apologizing to Hassan.
I would say that at this point of the novel Amir has a pretty good idea of himself and what he is doing.even though he feels inadequate and not good enough for his father he shows maturity in wanting to be better than he is for good or for worse. i think its important that he realizes these actions.

He knows what he is doing and that is also why he is doing it. He understands that his action affects the friendship between BaBa, and Ali. However, he is selfish and justifies his action simply saying that it is the best way for himself and Hassan.
