When you look at a person, how do you actually see them. For instance. You look at a person who looks to be the "thrill of the party". Does that usually mean he/she is?
Not everyone is as they appear. For instance. That person MAY be the "thrill of the party" but they also might have another face to them. They love to be the thrill of the party, but they might think and feel differently. Or take a quiet person. They might be really quiet, but does that mean that they don't feel anything? Completely not. They might just be someone who listens. Those Are the people who listens to everything and comments when they think it is needed. Those also usually come across as awkward. But they have a lot more to them then it appears. Also there is a third group (at least that I can think of). These are the "studious/nerd" group. Yes they look like they might be the brains behind everything, but they might wish to be more outgoing or thoughtful. Usually in settings the "nerds" come across as the rejection group (homeschoolers accept them though ;)). And as you get to know them, yes they probably are super intelligent, but they also care and wish people would accept them more for who they are, and not what they look like.
Basically this entire blog is...NEVER judge a person by they appearance and how they might seem to act when you first meet them. Because there is a lot more to them then it appears. Just because a person acts differently then you doesn't mean they still care, love, enjoy things, whatever.
Keep striving, and just try to make a difference. We all have a different face. It's expressing our "opposite" side that is our challenge.
Not everything is as it appears...

Hello! I came across your blog today while searching for some info, and there's a quote I've heard in past that I think applies to what you've said here. It's a bit of Plato:
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"
While simplistic, I think it suggests that same topic that you've written on--one of human complexity, and the fact that regardless how someone comes across, you cannot judge them, because you do not know their "battle", and so the background of their actions.
