Recently, I've been pondering about things relating to life. Or rather, humans. Why is it that many a times, I gravitate towards forming impressions (usually cynical ones) of people that I do not even know, or perhaps just heard of? These perceptions of people tend to stay with me and I have difficulties trying to completely eradicate them even after knowing people personally. It's quite perplexing that those notions would just surface now and then, as if to manipulate me and my actions. I don't know, perhaps too much had happened. Maybe these are precautionary alerts to not trust too easily. Though easier said than done, I should make a more conscious effort to change this habit. It would be horrible to wreck a friendship due to my skepticism .
