Shopping

When you go shopping, you look around from store to store to see if they have anything you might like. Some stores have absolutely nothing and other stores have a lot. But what happens when a new store catches your eye? You go inside to look around. Nothing. You exit the store. So the next time you pass by that same store you don't even bother to go inside. Why? Because it's not your style? How would you even know if you only went inside once?

So before there weren't many stores that I would go shopping in, probably only like two or three. H&M was one of those stores I would not go into. (I know crazy right?) I went inside once and didn't see myself wearing anything they had. I didn't think it was my style. Later on I decided to go inside because my friends were going there so I had no choice. To my surprise, I saw something I liked, and bought it. Since then H&M is now one of my favorite stores.

Much like how we treat brand new stores, brand new people are the same thing. We spend time with them once and if we don't like how they look or talk we decide to think that person is weird. And so the idea of good first impressions are suddenly important. If a person does not make a good first impression, we automatically have this idea of who that person is like. If we don't like it, we never talk to that person again, or at least try to. But once we actually get to know that person, we can see that a second or third chance isn't that bad of an option.

Always know this, we don't always like something just by first glance. We have to fully see whats in the store to fully appreciate what they have to offer. The store won't change their style for you to finally buy something, you have to change your style in order to like what the sell. So you shouldn't expect someone to change the way they look or act for you to like them, It's all up to you if you want to be their friend. And always remember that first impressions are always wrong, that's why we have second chances.
