It's not unusual for a mix in communication or a bad first impression to result in some kind of hatred towards one person.
We should never judge a book by its cover. What a cliche! But I guess it's right; many of us have an idealistic image in our heads of how we want ourselves to look therefore we use our image to portray ourselves. Or it may work the other way with what we can only describe as a mix in communication between us and ourselves where we don't even realise how powerful our image is and we find ourselves making bad first impressions without opening our mouths!
There are many examples of each in today's society; we judge what we call 'emo's' for their use of black eyeliner and their black attire which adorns their white skin for the contrast! (So I think!) And by dressing and acting in these ways, they socially attach themselves to every other 'emo', leaving the rest of us with endless opportunities to play with stereotypes and judge one person based on another whom may have looked similar.
It's like anybody who wears a hoody or some tracksuit bottoms is automatically branded a chav; automatically branded an acronym which stands for 'Council Housed And Violent'. What a compliment to those of us who just wanted a day of comfort!
People too often perform mass internal judgements on slight first impressions.
But it's always the case, if you come across nice a few people will find out and you might get a few more smiles each day; make a bad impression and everybody within a sixty-five mile radius finds out!
Dress how you want to be seen and don't allow your nerves to put you in a state of ignorance!
- Or whatever, look up, above and beyond, and do what makes you happy.
