You Guessed It, Another Confession

It's so astonishing how one person has control over the other. No, I don't mean physically but mentally. Some people have a certain vibe that reaches you instantly which helps you feel at ease while others not so much. Whether it was a friend, colleague, family member and the list goes on. Of course we, as humans, don't get along with everybody. We have our differences: views, personality, sense of humor...etc. Some people just make you hold your breath ( metaphor ) the moment they walk through the door. It's like they possess a certain invisible item which causes you to shut down mentally and not want to participate in the conversation. It's like they have put up a certain barrier which is impossible for you to break down.
Regardless, I personally was fast to judge. I've met a lot of people during the short course of my life and while most were friendly, the rest didn't seem so. Yet with time I realized that I have judged them and didn't give them a chance to change their image. Maybe they were shy? Maybe they weren't the type to chat with anyone they have just met? They say that a person forms his/her opinion about someone after the first 15 seconds of meeting them. Whether that was a proven fact or just a saying, I demandingly suggest that you give a person at least a couple of days before forming an opinion about them. You never know, you might be surprised.

Peace,
Hamda

  1. it's like when people say never judge a book by it's cover. Any opinion formed by someone in the first 30 seconds of meeting them is usually inaccurate. Only time tells. Never rely on first impressions no matter how good they are as well.
