To have a good impression to people,you must first understand the way they use to be.You can't make friends to them if your attitude doesn't fit to their expectations.Its really hard to undertstand people if you can't even undertstnad yourself.Therefore,before you approach people around you,think first, and undertstand simply seeing them through their eyes,moves,and attitude.

I dont understand what you mena by 'normal' people everyone is normal! If I dont understand what people ar5e saying or why they have certain attitudes I ask then why. I dont find it hard, everyone is unique and has their own behaviour and communication techniques.

Yes I am aware of people with special needs but they are still normal. This is a subject bery close to my heart. My step-father has only one leg and one prsphetic le, he is still normal, I have an Uncle who has learning difficulties but he is still normal. I dont like people that are disabled being classed as abnormal, its not fair!

I think you're right. Sometimes people judge others by their appearance. I have a friend who looks snobby but is really kind. It's not so easy to understand other people---especially if you're not willing to. Like for instance, if you've already hated the person even before you had the chance to talk to him, how could you possibly like him right? It's not that easy. But if we're nice enough, people will react the same... Sometimes it depends on how we show ourselves...

I agree that the best way to understand people is to take some time to watch them and listen to them. Sometimes it is still very difficult to understand them.
I recently went to a friend's birthday party. She is the most normal person I know. I usually hang out with people who are significantly not normal. Most of my friend's party was attended by normal people. I never know what to say to normal people so I usually just watch them.
Toward the end of the party I was talking to another friend of mine, who is reletively not normal. It was a private conversation but someone next to me said, "You think too much." I usually get this from normal people because I generally over think most of my life. I got offended by this. I had been very careful around the normal people of the party. I only interacted with them the way they were interacting with me. Now when I had my own friend who already understood me, and we were having a private conversation, someone butted in with a judgement of the way I think.
I have decided that if people can judge me then I can judge them in order to show them an example of the pain that they cause. While I will continue trying to understand normal people, I will expect the same amount of courtesy from them. If they say "You think too much." I am going to respond with "You think too little." It will offend them but then I can mention that my judgement of them was no worse than their judgement of me.
