So today's discussion is how our perceptions of people can change. I got thinking about this when the question was posed "I wonder if we all look and sound different to each person." Honestly I believe we do. At first you may think you hate a person, therefore it's natural you're brain will pick out traits to pin the hatred on, the way they speak, the sound of their laugh, their clothes style. But if you actually got to know a person perhaps you'd begin to see things differently, actually grow to like the sound of their laugh, the way they dress, the way they speak...it becomes lovable. To each person on this planet, I bet they all have a different perception of me, some will find my nerdy ways annoying, others will believe it defines me and makes me...well me. The truth is you can't please anyone, nor can you ever be seen by everyone in the same way. When people call somone "ugly" they are making the assumption that everyone sees that same person in the same light when in fact they do not. Actually the person who finds the "ugly" person attractive could be their best friend stood right next to them. We can try our best to come across in a particular way, but never can we be sure that everyone interprets us in the way we'd like. It's a never ending battle. So if someone ever tries to bring you down with negative comments, switch off, close your eyes and think to yourself - to someone I am special, they just haven't found me yet.
