In the context of the statements, the speaker is referring to his mind in the third person. This way, he can examine it as something he is separate from, and can speak in analytical ways. |
Are you sure about that, Koir? I've long since forgotten
The Great Gatsby, but the context makes me think that the narrator is speaking in general about people that he considers abnormal. It's certainly common in English to speak of a generality in this way.
In other words, "weirdos quickly realize that I won't judge them and they latch on to me."
