There are so many outcomes when meeting new people. You may have already experienced some of this outcomes.
- You meet a new friend, think they're are really nice. Know them a little bit more, and you discover they are the number one wanted in the school to be expelled.
- You meet someone who you think that is really mean to you, or in clinical terms, a major bitch. But time goes on, and you regret those thoughts because you are hanging around that person all the time.
- A new student comes into your environment, being the nice person you are, you showed said person around the school. Since no one else is hanging around her, you decide to be nice and accompany her for a few weeks. After a few weeks, you regret those actions, Why? , that new student is just plain annoying.
- You go on an excursion and meet someone who you've seen around school, but didn't have any mutual friends to be friends with. So you think "Oh well, it doesn't hurt to say 'Hi'". So you do, and that person turns out to be exactly like you, in the way they speak and act. Things become so familiar that it feels awkward, so you avoid.
- You meet a few friends, they are similar to you, but different in the sense that they were brought up so differently from you. And you think that being friends with them won't be easy. But then you are so happy around people who are just different from you.
The point of blog post is to share experience I had in meeting new people. First impressions are how you paint someone's life in your head, but that is only in your point of view. Get to know that person before writing their personality in your head. People tend to be more of themselves with people they are comfortable with. So give them some time, they may be your best friend and you would not have a clue.
Expect nothing and you'll always be surprised :)
