Your Reflection

I'm a bit curious to know how we see ourselves... I think I'm the type of person who is quite stubborn... I am a straightforward person; I always tell my mom, if I know I'm right, I will argue to prove that I am right, but if I'm wrong, I will shut-up right away... if I'm not straight with you, it means that it's not me... but sometimes I do play fake but most of the time I don't... if I don't like someone, I'm sure they'll know it based on my behavīor, attitude, or facial expression... usually after a few times of seeing me like this, the people I don't like will avoid me... (makes me feel like I'm evil...)

I think maybe b/c of these few things, it's very hard for people to get along with me... usually when people first meet me, they don't like me...  I've had a number of people tell me this before... but once they got to know me... they felt that I was the opposite of what they thought... but I think after awhile, I may become a little annoying (??) hahaa...

some guy once told me that when he first met me, he felt like I may be a bit difficult to deal with... but as he slowly got to know me, he said he noticed some positive characteristics... kinda like my sense of humor, my straight-forwardness... he said that I was really shy and he had the feeling that it seemed difficult for me to open-up to new friendships... but he said he was completely wrong on his thoughts about me... which was quite interesting to learn... but yea, I am usually shy on first meetings... I usually like to stay quiet and listen and get a feel for the people around me...

it's always interesting to learn what others think of you and how you think of yourself... which is why I often tell my friends afterwards what I first thought of them... I'd be honest with them... (I was actually quite wrong on my impressions of people too) most of the friends I have now are people who I didn't like before... weird, isn't it? but of course I wasn't always wrong... hahaa...

so how do you see yourself as a person? how have people described you? how do they differ?
or have you met people who you thought were off-limits but weren't? or the opposite?
