Hi myLotters..
Well, this topic just came up to me.. As an individual, I guess I would rate my socializing ability as 5, with 10 as the highest.. It is because I am a shy type of person,and a quiet one, though I believe I am easy to get along with.. I don't choose who I talk with, nor who I wanna be friends with..
But what I learn from my friends is that, their first impression on me is that I am a bit snob.. Because I don't smile a lot.. And they think that if they don't ask then I won't talk.. I beg to disagree with them.. I'm shy, but they think I am being snob.. Being shy and snob are different right? But then when they get to know me better, they'll realize they're wrong about it.. I may be an introvert, but I also love having lots of good friends..
Now myLotters, share your thoughts here..What is the usual impression of people on you?

hello dear,here i am stumbling down to your discussion,
well,i can say we are both the same when it comes to first impressions.
i think there's instance that being shy can always be associated with being a snob.
that's always the impression others have of me.
shy and snob is really different. but i can say,i am like that sometimes.
but if i am able to get close to other person,i can say,you will see the different side of me. well,that's for you to know,if you want to...
but as my close friends say,i am a bubbly person,and sometimes funny one.
though sometimes i feel myself as a boring person to be with.
i guess it also depends on what character the person i am with. i noticed i can be talkative sometimes when i used to hang out with talkative people haha :p

like i said,i'm still shy and snob as well,haha :P
actually,it depends on the person who i am talking to.
hmmm....i was feeling awkward cause we really are not that close in person and in high school,that's why and i know you belong to a group of friends which i don't like to mingle that's why i don't like talking to you instead, kidding!
i know you are a different person from those friends you got.
and i am happy to know that you are not like them!
oh,if we are both quiet then i would say,we can't go hang out together.
we have to be with someone talkative.
hmmm....well,i think that your daughter and my niece is noisy so it would be better if we are with them,haha =D
actually,i can see myself with you sometimes.

You remind me of them and I don't feel good about remembering them because I think their friendship on me has expired already. Maybe you were right for not liking them much back when in HS. Coz I am seeing it now.. But hell who cares.. if they don't notice me at all, then I won't let them notice me. I don't need to be notified by them anyway.. If they really are my friend, they should have shown me that.
But I believe someone will come in, in return of that somebody who came out, and I feel happy I've known you. You see, I consider you as my friend already.. And I hope we'll get to know each other better.. and longer..without any expiry!
Yeah having them together with us would probably be a nice idea..But I think it would spare us from talking with our own thing.. We should also try going out and have talks together.. But first, I have to know what interests you when you go out on a mall..

Yeah that's what I think so my friend.. We have similarities, 'coz I remember you used to be a shy one way back in high school.. Have you changed now? I remember when I went to your house with Denise, you were still shy that we didn't even had the time to talk.. So, I think your snob.. Haha.. Just kidding.. I think you're more on the shy side..
I differ in terms with character depending on who I am with.. Just like you actually.. If I'm with a quiet person, then most probably I'd also be quiet.. But also, I am more on a listener rather than a talker..
Thanks for responding my friend!

Hi there yakuyaku.. I think we have something in common.. That we are often misbranded as a snob.. But our difference is being impressed as a bratty.. I am an introvert, and I am shy.. Though since I had been married and had a family of my own, I've learned, and still learning to open up myself..
It's nice to know you know how to stand on your beliefs. Strong character is what I have been wishing to have but unfortunately I don't..
I think you should teach me how to be like that..

That's right..I've done a few standing up on my own opinion lately.. Though I don't do it always because I think I'll only get myself caught into a scandalous moment, so I avoid it..
But this time, I think I needed to do it again.. You know why, because I have just learned from a neighbor that another neighbor has been making up gossips that my dad was stroked! How rude of her to do that. I think she's too envious of my dad so she makes up stories like that. I guess I'll confront her one of these days..
What do you think yaku?

Hi dear,
I know I am a nice person in all respects. I liked to be well behaved with every one with whom I make a deal. At home, office, casual places, and wherever I have a good relation, I know they cannot talk a different opinion about me.
Not just praising. But it is true. I am not so serious, not have much of attitude, easy going, approachable, nice behaved and all I like. In such case, I think people may not have a different opinion.
I think the impression of other people about us make a difference in the style of our life.
Regards,
Thank-s

Hi thanks.. That's nice to know that you are a good person and you really think your are.. But let me ask if you have heard the impression people on you? Because based on experience, well I'm not generalizing it, but mostly I learn from others that first impressions don't always prove true for a person.. It is sometimes good to hear about what people impress on you the first time they see you.. When they haven't even talked to you yet..
Thanks for responding to this discussion and happy myLotting!

Hi dear,
Nice to hear from you.
You are completely alright. But in my case, I prefer to be good and keep a relationship in such a way that my dealings should have perfection wherever I engage.
My approach towards various things have a different approach which I prefer and I would read the psychology of others and I can handle nicely with the people around. Also, if there are instances where having conflicts, prefer to settle it with a maximum of mutual understandings.
These all are based on the long-term relational and not intended to casual dealings.
Best regards,
Thank-s

Most people think that I am a snob person although I really don't know why they think of that about me! I think I'm very bubbly, I love to smile and laugh but sometimes, especially when Im alone and have no one with me, I just have this straight look on my face! That could probably be the reason why others think Im a snob!
