yes, many has that impression on me but the truth is i am not a snob.it's just that at first meeting i am quiet.why? because i don't know what topic to bring up if i was introduced to a new person but that happens only for the first time i don't want the new person to have this idea that i am all knowing or that i am stalking him or her hehehehe...but there are times that if i don't like the aura of a person i would not talk to that person..it was like i'll only blurb a word if you will go first. this happens rarely....i am friendly promise!!!if you were misjudged as a snob like me, what will you them?

Hi tipay.
There had been times when people would tell me that they thought I was a snob...they would usually make this comment after they've gotten to know me and have proven themselves wrong. I don't like people who are judgmental.
I think you are a nice person...with that sweet smile, I'm sure you've got a lot of friends.
Thanks. Have a great day!

I believe you because I am a little like you, but i just want to be freindly to everyone. Why some peopole think this is a snobby behavior, strange. Should I treated them bad, then makes me not a snob? Too hard to understand and to hard to explain to them, ok, I just be myself. I won't be worry about other's wrong judgement...

Same here, people i meet have always got the first impression that i am snobbish but actually i am not. They always proven it when they get to know me better. Maybe because i am a loner before that's why they think of me like that. Like you its only at first impression, most of the time its just a warm up to get to know the person. Anyway, not always first impression last. They always proven themselves wrong when they get to know me. Happy mylotting!

Ok, I believe you. Haha
I think it is a little harsh to judge someone as a snob just because they don't talk much when first meeting someone. It is not an easy thing to do.
I don't know why but I have never had a hard time chatting when I first meet someone. It helps to ask questions like how do you two know each other if someone else has introduced you, or ask something about that person. Most people like talking about themselves. Then grab something from what they tell you about themselves to chat about. For some reason that has always just come naturally for me.

Hey wait, very familiar description. Kind of like describing me.
I am a person who doesn't talk much, especially to those whom I'm not close to, new aquiantance. Most of them will describe me as a snob. In fact, I am Not. I have figured out the reason for being called a snob. Firstly, I am quiet, basically I am. Secondly, I don't offer my precious smiles often. Guess these two points is enough to grade me a snob.
However, those who know me knows I'm not.

Why is it that when people are quiet that some people automatically assume they are snobby?
I have never thought that about someone just because they are quiet. I think hey they're probably a little shy at first.
I can be quiet at first but I always have a huge smile on my face so I hope people don't think I'm a snob... that would make me sad, haha! :)

Most people I encounter say that I'm a snob.. I don't know why.. maybe it has something to do with my intimidating eyes.. My eyes tend to look cranky without me knowing.. That's what my hubby told me.. but hey, once you get to know me, i'm sure you'll regret what you've said, that i'm a snob or something.. =) To tell you honestly, i'm not a snob type of person.. Don't judge me with the way I look.. The best thing you can do is to talk to me and we'll have a great time, that's for sure!

I hate when this happens to me . It has pretty much been happening to me since after high school. I am not very good at making new friends because I tend to stay quiet until I feel comfortable enough around a new person. I have had friends tell me that they heard others talking about me saying I was stuck-up. Well it is so not true! I am a very accepting open person, I don't like to judge others and can make friends with just about anyone.
It's horrible that in order for someone to think that you are not a snob it requires one to be fake and bubbly...especially if they are really just a more quiet laid back person like me .

Sounds a lot like someone I know. ME! hehe. I am a typically quiet person. You can only count in your fingers the instances where I initiate the conversation. tipay26, if you were misjudged as a snob then so be it. Because if you really are not a snob then it will show eventually. Just be yourself. Those persons who thinks you are a snob were just not close to you yet I guess. Because we really can't help if we've got nothing to say. Instead of pretending we're interested to talk or something let's just be quiet and civil. Sounds just like a snob really. hahaha.
Happy posting! =)
