sometimes we are wrong about what someone’s first impression of us is
. for me, the first impression depends on the setting and the person. I range almost anything.. from hilarious to obnoxious. brilliant to an airhead.. sweet to snobby to uptight. any of these impressions are not necessarily wrong depending on perspective. (except snobby is an incorrect interpretation of my social anxiety).
I’m careful that i don’t create self-fulfilling prophecies. If I assume that someone is thinking badly about me, I may manifest some of that inner negativity.. which projects outwards and affects the other person’s reactions to me. i eventually tire of all the thinking about this and just act like whatever I’m feeling lol which actually results in me missing most social cues.. sometimes I make a point to observe my surroundings (usually only because I care about someone or necessity at work), other times, I just enjoy the moment and allow people to think whatever they want to think because I can’t control other peoples’ thoughts anyway!
