Perspective

People’s opinion and view toward you shouldn’t really matter. The way people see you varies, people have different perspectives. In a literal sense, when you stand in a crowd, there’s someone beside you, in front and behind you and in every possible position there is.

Someone standing in front of you only sees your front view and vice versa.

Different People see different bits and pieces of you, and although this bits and pieces are a part of you, they aren’t the definition of who you are. A collective understanding of those pieces of yourself is what makes you who you are. A small part somebody saw doesn’t mean that’s who you are.

Humans are quick to form a conclusion about you based on a behavior that is depicted, but people fail to realize that people are not made up of a single emotion. It’s quite unfair to form an opinion about someone based on a single encounter, that particular behavior might have made itself known at that first instance, it doesn’t necessarily define the whole person.

Moods and external circumstances can stimulate positive and negative behaviors from people. Meeting someone who had a terrible day for the first time might not exactly go well, not because that’s their general character, but at that moment, the mood is not exactly a recipient of what you’re offering, and because of that external stimulant, they probably depicted an unlikely behavior.

People stress a lot about creating good first impressions, but also remember that you cannot exactly judge a book by its cover.  Try to collect bits and pieces of a person, try to understand them from every perspective before you can form an opinion of them, and mind you it might not exactly be right because at the end of the day even if humans come off as the most expressive beings, we have characters and behaviors buried inside that we only choose to show to specific people.
