Not Waving But Drowing

Most people will judge others the first chance they get. Usually they don't realize they are judging, but they are. I have heard when people first see me and first get to know me they think I am quite shy. They find later though that I am not. Also, a lot of people think I am either mean or a goody goody. Neither of which are true. I tend to do the right things in most situations, but I am not an angel. Last year this girl asked one of my close friends if I was mean she responded "Lindsey? Ha yeah right! She's one of the nicest people I know!" I don't know why she thought I was mean, but I found it very funny. There have been several occasions when I think people are so sweet and nice, but I hear a story and it totally changes my mind. One action or rumor can change how people see you. Also, before I knew a girl who was one of my best friends I thought she was some sort of hard core catholic girl... then I got to know her. Boy was I wrong! No she's not like a devil's child or anything, but she definitely changed my opinion about her. This comes to show you truly can't judge a book by it's cover, because what's on the inside can be a whole other story.
