Actually I have someone whom I have recently been talking about which is why it's important that we don't judge people on first impressions.
This person I had bad impression about at first is now a good friend of mine and we hardly go a day without talking or chatting
That's a great example of why first impressions aren't always the full story. Sometimes all it takes is one genuine conversation to reveal a completely different side of someon
Seriously speaking. There is this Yoruba proverb that says "isunmoni ni imo ise eni" which means that "you know someone better when you move closer to them".
Seems you just realized you predicted someone wrongly based on your first meeting. Was it for good or bad
Looking back now, what do you think was responsible for your first impression being so wrong?
Everything 😂
The first reason is because I wasn't close to the person. So I was judging him from a far distance.
It was just so wrong you know
It's funny how the less we know someone, the more confident we can be in judging them. I guess proximity has a way of correcting assumptions. Have you become more careful about first impressions since then?
Yeaaah that confidence grows more when the person coincidentally act to prove our wrong assumptions
I never saw him talk except to just one person anytime we meet and you know you would find that strange when there is always many people around
I can relate to this. I remember in secondary school,I only talk with my guys, nothing more. There was this day in our class group, I don't know if these ladies had discussed me. They were like I'm proud blah blah blah. Funny thing, I read the chat,....
but still didn't respond to that allegations it was one of my friends that was doing the explanation that I'm not proud, I just like to choose who I relate with
However, people will always have an impression about us even if we relate with others even when we decide not to relate
Yeaah people are entitled to their opinions and not everyone will see you for who you are even if you're the most transparent
Like, I was just like what are these people saying..me and pride in the same sentence. Even if you want to talk, say something else
Lol that's exactly how you feel when assumptions about you are wrong but sincerely that's the way they see you from afar
