You ever met that one girl that was really nice but just straight up annoying? Sometimes I feel bad when I think of how mean I sound when I think of people that get on my nerves. It's probably a problem but at least I'm aware. I need to be more patient before I start disliking people!
This one girl who was just seemed to never know when to stop saying certain things. Or like she just sounded too stuck up. Sometimes, when she spoke out loud I would just block her out. How ironic, I ended up being partners with this girl for a group presentation in one of my classes. We ended up having to spend so much time together getting this going and it finally came the time to actually interact besides talking academics.
We took a study break and went out to get dinner. We ended up talking about our backgrounds and although hers differs from mine greatly, we both had some things in common. She kind of opened up pretty quickly about her life and her problems, her parent's divorce, an illness, high expectations she has to meet, and etc. I just realized how we all have so much more to us besides what people see. I just learned how knowing people generally doesn't mean we know who they are or what they have to offer. I kind of regret being so annoyed by her... Just like Justin Hall, what we see on the outside is not always it. There's a deeper side to people and everyone has their problems. Just because people seem all happy or any other way, doesn't mean that there reality actually portrays that.
