Studies show that most of the time your first impressions of a person are wrong. I can’t tell you how often I have encountered someone who immediately struck me as unfriendly, snobby or aloof. But when an opportunity comes to have a conversation with them, and you actually get to know them a bit, they turn out to be completely different.
Some people are just not comfortable breaking the ice. They’re not sure what to say, so they say nothing, making them seem stand-offish. Or they may be focused on another conversation at the moment, and don’t realize you are feeling left out.
Try to hold off on judgement. Give someone a second chance to impress you. Chances are, they will.
Where is the thumbs up button?
I’ll work on that. 🙂
A life lesson I have learned the hard way sometimes. Thanks Ken.
Great advice!!
