I believe that people's thoughts doesn't really matter but there are times it does.

For instance, Darasimi walks into her new class for the first time, all grumpy and awkward. She doesn’t say a word to anyone and gives off a ‘leave-me-alone’ kind of vibe. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to say ‘hi’ (except you are a very outgoing person). Then, there’s Luca. He walks into the classroom, waves at one or two people, smiles and maintains an optimistic expression, you would definitely smile back. That’s how it is, the law of attraction.

A lot of times, people form opinions of you based on the first impression they have of you but often times, it doesn't end there.

Your interactions with people are observed by people you know, people you don’t and even people that don’t care about you (social media, for instance). This is why in movies, especially thrillers, when character A is looking for character B, they ask around especially in neighborhoods or places character B usually frequents. I guess by now, you know why.

People watch you, they take note of you either consciously or unconsciously and this goes a long way for them to form opinions of who you are as a person.

This is why personal development is important.

It’s possible that the day a person meets you for the first time, you were angry about something already or flustered about a matter. You probably cannot explain to them because most times, you may not even have a relationship with this person but forever, you may be tagged ‘grumpy’. But that may not be who you are.

Hence, I recommend that you try to smile often or be of good cheer. I’m speaking to myself as well as I’m speaking to you. Don’t let bad situations drown you so you don’t get too gloomy else you’ll be like “Bruno no-no, we don’t talk about Bruno🎵🎶”.

For the record, all of us have had bad days but all I’m saying is, don’t let it stifle your shine. And if you are hurt, please, (I take God beg you), don’t transfer your aggression to another person lest you ruin their moods and become a “Karen”. Friendly reminder: “werey pass werey (there is different levels of crazy)”.

Do with this information what you like but please endeavor to check out Shawnbookstore or check here for insightful thoughts. I love you and I want you to be the best version of yourself.
