When I don't know someone well enough to make any assumptions, most of the time I try to keep quiet because anything I say would probably kill the conversation or leave it hanging awkwardly. This usually means that I tend to be a very passive participant in group conversations, unless the people involved are those I have grown to feel comfortable with, or at least accustomed to.

But that doesn't mean that I'm not listening to what people say. It means that while you are judging me for whatever half-assed reason, I'm judging you right back.

I always resist the urge to roll my eyes at people who think they actually "know" someone within a couple of conversations. Maybe its just me because I'm a terrible judge of character, but personally I feel that first impressions are the worst ways to judge a person. You could say it's inevitable at first, because when you know virtually nothing about him/her, a first impression is the only legit thing you can refer to.

But subsequently, I think we need alot of genuine interactions with the other party before we can really make any conclusions. Yet many of us don't bother making the effort to do so. It's much easier to believe that the perceptions we ourselves have formed about the person are completely reliable and error-free; even when our opinions were born from shallow, superficial small talk.

Damn I really wanted to write a happier and more light-hearted post but Blogger just makes me want to vent. I need some guidance on how to control and express your emotions better -_- While I don't go around punching people when I'm irritated, I think I really have some annoyance management issues.
