Learn from the mistakes of others

Sometimes you tend to be a little quick in your assessments of other people, Steven. You make a decision about what someone is like right away when you meet them. Today you could learn that someone around you has hidden depth. Perhaps a friend or acquaintance will reveal layers that you have never noticed before. Give them a chance to express this part of themselves, and allow yourself to look at them differently.

i'm always reassessing the people. reconsidering my opinion of them, and trying to understand them better. especially now that i know i'm not the best judge of people, and for some very good reasons.

i love to see depth in people. this is part of what i call friendship. wanting to learn more about who someone is, rather than who you think they are or want them to be.

and in case they haven't noticed yet, my friends are allowed to tell me to shut up. i don't mind being the centre of attention, but i probably ought to give others thier chance. in any event, i do listen to what people are saying, even if i have my mouth open at the time.

i got to meet some more fabulous people last night. getting out is good. but trust me on the telling me to shut up. sometimes i just go on without really saying anything - i really do prefer to listen to other people [the going on and on is one of my aspie traits. i can dribble shit sometimes.]
