This definitely resonates with me! I don’t open up to people easily and can be very quick to decide that I can’t handle someone’s energy or we’re not destined to be friends. An example that stands out the most is a friend in my industry who I met on social media. She’s very open and outgoing and has a big personality that at first I found very intimidating. It may have also been a hint of jealousy since I’m much more introverted and quiet which can be a hindrance in our field that requires constant connection. But after meeting for coffee and having one-on-one conversations we’ve developed a friendship. I now appreciate our differences and see them as a benefit to our bond. 🤍
Even when I can "know" how are going to be a person, I don't let that determine my interaction with them, I give the opportunity to prove me wrong about my first impression of them. Because I know that I don't have the first impression either ♥️🌹
