We tend to cling to first impression even when they are wrong. Lately, i've been struck by this, but at a point i was actually able to let that go and change my perception of people.

This happen back in august, as i enter class i sat right in front like i would normally do. And person A sat behind me. When A started speaking, my friend turn to me and we both had the same thought, which was, "OMG! A is so freaking annoying!, Why does A speak that way!" For quite awhile we never liked A, A is always annoying and quite a kiss up, in our point of view. No matter how friendly A might try to be with us, we just give a fake smile and walk away as quick as possible. I know it sounds mean, but hey, anyone would do it too when they don't like a person. Just lately, we were proven wrong. A is actually quite a nice person, despite the fact sometimes A can be 'over the top'. So now, we have totally change our perception of A, and we have no negative feelings towards A. Now we actually acknowlegde A when we see A around. It all good.

Now, first impression aren't always negative. Sometimes they are all too good that it makes it hard to believe that, the same person can have a 'bad' side too.

Now, person B have quite a personality. Everyone that know person B would say B is a very nice person and i defnitely do agree, but man! was i taken back by what happen lately. How can someone who is so nice, caring and just Good in general be so ... (a negative trait i wont mention). Whenever i vent out about the situation, and they dont know who im talking about, they would start guessing. They will start throwing out names, and i would say 'yes' or 'no', but when it comes to B's name, before i could say anything they would be like, "Oh, it cant be B, B's not that kind of person. " I usually just comment back that they should never be too sure about how anyone is, and they will never know who im talking about. It is not in my nature to purposely make another person seem bad, especially if it is someone i care about. So let's just leave this as it is.

This is just to prove a point that, your perception of one person may not always be right. And when it is proven to be wrong, one should try to comprehend and accept it. And not stick to only what you want to believe in, as one day you might just be blind sighted by everything and get hurt in the process.
