Perception.

Everyone won't love you or even like you.
Some people might hate you and despise you.
And often times it's nothing that you have done,
it's just the way people view you.


PERCEPTION

dictionary def:
the act or faculty of apprehending by means of the
senses or of the mind; cognition; understanding.
my def:
being perceived and viewed a certain way

People make up their own conclusion of the
person you are sometimes without even engaging
in a conversation with you, this is sad yet true.
Example:
Have you ever walked the mall with a friend

and they see someone dressed a certain way,
then they say "eww" or "wow" what was he or she thinking?
-They have made a snap judgment,
without even knowing or getting to know that person.

Now i'm not saying that I never do this.
It's only human to see someone and automatically categorize them.
But I often keep those thoughts to myself, and in my head.
I believe that everyone has a story and their story often reflects their appearance.
Such as:
- the way they dress
-their facial expressions
-and body language
Therefore, first judgments are usually incorrect.
So, it's always important to be the person that you are
and if people don't see who you truly are inside, there's
nothing you can do about it. Take it as a compliment when you are judged.
They didn't take the time to get to know you, so it's their loss.

Quote:
"Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind."
-Dr.Seuss
