Prejudice

I make horrible first impressions. The thing I have in mind is @polydramatica on Twitter, to be exact. The same in real life, not just on the internet. I act very shy and depressed, with my “emo hair” covering my eyes and always looking down.

My friend Andrew, who is categorized in the “cool Filipino” clique, says that I’m a nice guy and I’m an all-around nice guy to be around. I fumble with meeting new people, I shake and stutter while talking. I’m supposed to laugh, be witty. I admit, at times I’m a little “out there”. It’s in my character. I like making people laugh.

Andrew and I hated each other in Freshman year. He always recalled me as a “nerdy and geeky retarded bitch” - those are his exact words. He only recently began talking to me since the beginning of Sophomore year, when he was forced to sit behind me due to unforeseen seat changes. We talked. We laughed. We bonded.

The point I’m trying to get across is this - never be so quick to judge. I may look geeky, but in reality I’m a nice guy. I’m trying to write this with the least amount of arrogance possible.

Is there someone who bugs you and trys to get your attention every day? Is there someone who looks unsociable and never talks to people? Talk to them! Take the initiative to be a nice guy, take the initiative. Make the most of every moment. This is life! Use the time to your advantage!
