"I Didn't Like You At First"

That is why it was said never judge a book by its cover. It is not my policy to come to a conclusion about someone from afar. I know, because I used to be misjudged by other people. Even those close to me found my behaviour to be confusing or inconsistent on certain matters. People who misjudged me and those who listen to others without finding out the truth tend to stay away from me. It does not bother me because I have other things to do. I also have friends who I can hang out with. all the best, rosdimy

yes that happens to me all the time,but when they met me inside and realize what person am i really they loved me :P

Though I haven't got any direct comments as to the liking in the first sight I have deducted it from the behaviour of others who came to interact with me.Although the adage,First impression is the best impression has some bearing upon people's appearance it is not the general rule while assessing a person.The true personality of a man comes from his inner-self.A person should not be judged by his external appearance alone.Ofcourse,Attire makes a man.But if he lacks virtue what use is for him to wear costly or flashy costumes.When the true self is exposed he will be rejected.In the Bible there is phrase called "white-washed tombs".The tomb is beautiful when looked from outside.But what happens when the cover is removed.It contains all the squalid petrifying mortal remains of body.So when someone says that I don't lke you at first- that means he or she has no stuff at all.They see things only in their periphery.Such people will know all that twinkles are not gold only when they get a set back from those who they admired at first.We should keep aside all our prejudices and pre-occupations while assessing people.The person you assess to be the least one might be one beyond your expectations.I wish to add a small incident from my college life.I and my friends were sitting in the debate hall of our Law College.Then a shabbily dressed old man came to the hall and started looking at the photos of the earlier judges displayed on the wall.Being in the final year we were the Big Brothers of the college.As a prominent member of our team I called him by my finger with a pinch of contempt and asked him by what authority he entered the debate hall which were meant for the final year students only.I lectured him on the consequences of trespass and the provisions in the penal code regarding trespass and asked him to leave the place at once.He then looked at me calmly and said that while he was studyng in the college there were more photos and some where missing now.I was dumbstruck to know that he was an old student of the college.I got another shock treatment when he revealed that he was a retired District judge.I turned around to find that none of my friends were there.While he was about to leave he patted on my shoulders,correcting the provision of trespass which I had wrongly mentioned during my sermon.Whenver I see a man dressed in an ordinary way I think of that incident at the law college in which my oversightedness and prejudice landed me in trouble.

I have heard that it usually takes about 20 seconds upon meeting a person you decide whether you like them or not. I find that is true, my instincts are spot on in 99% of the time. It is not necessarily the physical appearance, although grooming tends to be an influence, it is more their general demeanor. Maybe something in your body language, grooming or physical appearance is sending signals, or maybe you unconsciously do that with new people you meet, sort of "testing" them. That is you treat new strangers different than older friends. I am not saying that is a good or bad thing, only that it might be an explanation.

well, in my case almost all my friends think that im nuts and admit that they really dont like me at first. since i was the leader they think i spoil things so much and did a little mistakes i report it wihtout asking whats the cause. aslo i always wanated to be alone.that was their theory. so i tried to go along with them and ive prove to them that they were wrong.

I used to dislike my monitor when I was in my middle school, but after a period, I found she is a nice girl, and I tried to know her again. Sometime when we saw someone the first, we will give them a comment in our own opinion, some is right but the other is wrong, that is, you can't judge a book by its cover, right?

They don't tell me directly that they don't like me. But I can read their body language and the way they react to my personal approach. But, never mind and I know there is an opportunity in my own weakness. What is it?. That is the first question that I have to ask myself and not to blame others. I have to 'sell' my wisdom to them which something extra ordinary and able to turns their desire to necessity. Just like the folky sayings; "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride." On my side, I must make sure that I won't meet somebody whom I don't like. How I did that?...my intuition as my decision making. [b] Merry Christmas 2008 and Happy New Year 2009. Cheers!!!

nah... i don't have friends tell me that. but i have been told that i look very arrogant and snobbish but they first met me. and many are surprised that i can be really fun to be with. HAHA.

when i was in my middle school,i like my math teacher at first and hate my history teacher,for my math teacher was just acting like a gentle man that i never came across a man like him.as for my history teacher,he is just like a badman,i didnt like him at all. but it had been changed in the last run.i hate my math teacher and like my history teacher,cos their inner mind are just not the same with their appearance.

Hi,ShortyAkbar one of my friend,i think he is ruffian when the first time i meet him. but in fact,he is so kind man. you know,we have not enough info to judg person when we meet them first,then we would make a wrong result many times.never mind this.at last,you are friend,right,that mean,you friend know who you are finally.

Lol, it's quite fun when people tell you that. My case, many of my friends (who were not my friend at first plasce) said that, before they knew me, they thought I am an arrogant person. Hah, and that just because I am a quiet person plus when I walk, I don't really care about people around me. I just walk and my aim is my destination. Haha. After they get along with me, they know I'm not that kind of person. Have a nice day! :)
