I know that most people are always quick to judge a book by
its cover as many would say. So I’m sad to say that I have been one of those
people to judge quickly especially in high school. I remember the first day of high school
orientation, I thought that one of the girls in my group was such a mean person
because of the way she acted toward everyone else. She was into meeting everyone else and did
not seem to care. The funny thing is
that after orientation, I found out that she knew one of my closest friend so I
ended up seeing her a lot. After hanging
out with her a couple times, I realized that she was not mean at all but
instead was really nice. She was just really
shy that day at orientation. Now, we are
still really close friends some could even say that we are like best friends.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI’ve totally done the same thing and automatically jumped to conclusions about people before meeting them. For example I’ve known one of my closest friends since high school. She was really quiet and I took that as her being snobby so I never gave her the time of day even though we sat next to each other in biology. We were eventually assigned as partners for a project and got to know each other throughout the semester and became very close. She’s really shy when meeting new people so what I thought of as being snobby, was her just being shy.
I guess this is a very common mistake that we encounter in our lives, to judge a book by its cover. However, I do believe that you can tell a lot about someone’s personality on how they present their selves, but of course, it may not always be accurate. I also had the same problem, but in my case, my friend did not turn out to be as nice as I assumed. But I am glad that you made such a good friend from your orientation. Good thing you gave her a chance! Or else you would never have made such a good friend.
