Day 29 - What do you think people misunderstand most about you?
Wow, once again I have no idea what to write. But I'm sure that as my fingers typity-type along, I'll come up with something.
Hmm, well from my point of view a lot of people, when they first meet me, probably think that I'm pretty shy and quiet. And they're right. I'm an introvert and I don't generally open up my heart to every person I meet. But that doesn't mean that I'm a totally shy and quiet person.
But let's just stop there for a second. I just cheated and asked Jonathan what he thought people might most misunderstand about me. And he said, "They might not realize that you're an introvert." What?! I couldn't believe that he said that. So I asked him what he first thought of me. And he replied, "I don't remember, that was a long time ago." Then he said that when we were first getting to know each other and I hung out at his apartment with him and his roommate and my siblings he never got the impression that I was shy or quiet, but that I was comfortable socializing with people. Haha, wow! Well, if he's right (which he must be because that was his first impression of me) then I'm completely off-base! So now I don't really know what I should write. Maybe I should just pick a different topic of misunderstanding...
OK, I went to do something else for a few minutes, thinking I'd be able to come up with something else and then come back to finish this post. But so far, nothing. I'm sure there's lots that people misunderstand about me, but right now I can't think of anything except for what I initially wrote. So I'm just going to leave it that way for the time being. If you can think of anything you misunderstand about me, let me know in the comments. I'd find it interesting to know.
they might misunderstand just how loyal you are when they first meet you.
ReplyDeleteno matter if you are treated nicely or rudely or meanly or kindly, if someone is supposed to be your friend you are loyal to them always.
they also might not understand that you certainly can be stubborn ( as in they can not make you camp out on the top of a mountain in the rain no matter how hard they beg) but that your stubborn parts of you are your wise parts too. i remember telling you when you were little to use your stubborn characteristics on lots of things that would help you as you were growing up but never on mummy!
Hmm, yes, you're right. Those probably are things that people wouldn't necessarily understand about me right from the first time they met me. Thanks for giving your opinions, Mum!
DeleteHmm...did you like him the first time you hung out with him? Maybe you were trying extra hard to be outgoing, and he just didn't realize it . . . ?
ReplyDeleteYeah, possibly, Christen. I don't actually remember when I started liking him. We were definitely friends first and I gradually came to realize I liked him, but maybe I really did unconsciously all along, haha.
