Getting To Know People.

Its very funny when people talk like they know me. Especially when they are brand new to me in literally every way imaginable. And when they assume the kind of person that I am and when I deviate from their assumptions, the reactions are just down-right hilarious. 

Hello there, I am the Earthian.

Its almost flattering to know how people feel about us when they don't even have the slightest ideas about us. And they don't always have to be strangers. In fact, most strangers never assume because they don't have to. Its the ones who are always around us but never talk to us because they just haven't found the right reason to do so or the right time to do so that usually do the assuming part. And I get where they come from, they notice us hither and thither and they read our actions which leads them to think they know us, which unfortunately just isn't the case. And when they learn that they can't fit in our stories into their narratives, they get upset in a very weird way, they get let down. And some just assume how we are based on how they are because some part of them believes the way they are is the way every single human being is, which is funny.
The point I'm trying to make is that sometimes, it is very easy for us to succumb to what people want us to be. The perfect son, the perfect brother, the perfect friend, the perfect partner and the perfect human being in general is what people like to see in us and that's okay. If you are indeed that person, then there's nothing to worry about. But I suspect we aren't that person. We are who we are and the ones who do take the time to actually get to know us will know that.

Love, peace.
