Picky

Do you tend to be skeptical or trusting when meeting new people? Is your first impression of someone generally accurate, or does their true character surprise you?


I wouldn't say I'm skeptical when I meet someone new, just interested to meet them and learn something about them. And I wouldn't say I'm entirely trusting either. Nonjudgmental might be the word I'm looking for. But I think we all make first impressions on each other, and as for me, my first impressions usually turn out to be true. Many times I will ignore those first impressions and continue on getting to know someone until I finally realize, nope, not my cup of tea. Something in their character will annoy me or turn me off. I think character flaws are only overlooked by people in love.

I always thought people with similar interests would get along with each other, but even though one might have a similar interest, personalities differ, beliefs differ. Differences make for great discussion but maybe not for good friendships. I don't think I have enemies, but I don't have a lot of good friends either.
