I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. Sometimes when you hear people's opinions about you, you will be shocked and left wondering if it is really you that they are talking about like that. You hear what they have to say, and you are left speechless because deep within you, you know that person they are describing cannot be you because you just don't possess those characters and features that they are describing. Trust me, to some people you are a completely different person, like the opposite of what you think of yourself.
The truth is that I have heard a lot of people say completely different things from how I see myself, but when we eventually get close and they get to really see me, they tend to take back those words, and their opinion about the type of person I am tends to change. I am a very shy person and don't really relate more like I stay on my own all the time and really don't enjoy or let people into my space that easily; for that reason, many people consider me a very proud person and so full of himself, but it is not so. I consider myself an easygoing person; I hate chaos and drama and will do everything and anything I can to avoid it.
I am a very humble person; I am quite jovial and know how to light up the room when I am in the mood for that, but the truth is that this side of me you will only get to see when we get really close and I get comfortable around you. The fact that the side of me that is jovial, hates drama and chaos, and is easygoing can only get fully seen or enjoyed when we get close has caused a lot of people to see me differently. Over time I have just realized that I have a personality that only those close to me get to see, and those who judge a book by the cover and are not so close to me see me completely differently from how those close to me see me.
Those not close to me will say I am always gloomy and considered a boring person because they hardly see me smile or say a word. Some say I carry myself too high and am too proud of myself; one time I was called an arrogant person. All these were how even a neighbor saw me before we got close, and when we got close, she started telling me how both she and her roommates see me as a proud person and arrogant because I don't talk to them unless they talk to me, and all I am interested in is just greeting and going my way, but now that we got close, they see me differently, and she is not the first person to say that, and now I have been forced to accept the fact that people see me differently before they get to me and then get to see me differently after they get to know me.
