Decepetion
hi my name is _____ bAm! first impression imprinted in your mind [ten thousand syllogisms rushing at light-speed whoosh--->>>conclusion--->>first impression] i have decided that first impression is actually just another term for deception. no-one ever corresponds in reality to the first impression that suddenly creates itself in your mind (at least i can't think of any example). now when i met Jane*, i thought "whoa, she looks so artistic, she must think deeply about life and the cosmos, we'll have a common understanding of the world" and on and on first impressions involve assumption...i assumed based on her bright hippy skirt and funky hair that Jane* had unique thought processes to correspond to her funky clothes. time wore on...we spent time talking... once, lying on a blanket reading in the grass together on a lazy fall afternoon, watching the clouds glide over us...i waited and waited and waited to hear something, anything of depth...a year and then a year and a half...what i kept waiting for a manifestation of never revealed itself... was it ever there? i just don't know... i think my original syllogism was flawed in that BASED on her clothes or her looks, she would be a certain way in reality...but she wasen't

yeah... i Do observe ppl alot but i still ALWAYS get the wrong first impression...which then reconstructs itself over time...
what is your cultural backround that makes you such an astute observer?
ergo sum,
Yeah Yeah.. Blah blah "studying human behavior, being exposed to a diversity of cultural and situational contexts, and maybe being an astute thinker." Blah Blah.. How about just A. Being Human B. Having a pulse? Or must we all pose as a pompous,pretentious, know-it-all douche? I mean honestly, is this how you carry on an everyday conversation? Give me a break..
