Thoughts
Do you ever get the feeling that people think they have you figured out, that they know what your about? I'm sure some of you can relate with me here. I find it highly amusing, to be honest.
Me, I like to study people, try to understand their actions, so I can formulate an idea of what they are trying to present to me. I mean, I don't believe that most people let even half the cat out of the bag, if you know what I'm saying. I think that, like myself, many of us have different facets of our personalities that we present to our family, friends, co-workers, and the general public. Take myself for instance. I act differently with each of my friends, and when we are all together, I am a mixture. Sounds strange, I know. Different people bring different reactions from me, I guess I would have to say.
Anyway, I cannot say of one person in this world that I truly know. My best friend,who I have known for twenty or more years now, I don't even know. I know a lot about him, I know his mannerisms, and I can usually guess how he will react to different situations. But those are just small layers of a much larger onion, as Shrek would say. See where I'm going here?
Too many people try to interperate the actions of others, and then hang a name on them. They feel that because this person acts this way, he/she is like this. Many of my friends, and co-workers, know me as a hyper, off the wall chick. I like to make people laugh, and don't mind taking some flak. We have fun. Many of these people though have no idea how serious of a person I can be. People judge to quick, and then have problems dealing with the fact that people judge them, too.
Blah! Screw it anyway. I realize there is little, if nothing, that can be done about it. But it was worth writing, if only to express my opinion on the subject.
