Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. When it comes to humans, we all have different personalities; we cannot all be the same or have the same personalities, which is why tolerance is always preached. There are things you do not like and cannot live with that another person likes and is very comfortable with and has no problem with. It is the difference in personality that allows that. I have met people who are fine with things that I am not fine with and people who are not fine with the things that I am fine with. Our personalities make us different and kind of incompatible, but tolerance, understanding, and cooperation are what make us able to live with one another; if not, there will always be chaos where two or more people are gathered.
One thing I have learned over the years is to never judge people from a distance because of their personality or what they show; before you jump to a conclusion, get close to them and get to know the real them, as I am one of those who have been judged wrongly from afar only to get close and find out something different.
The difference in our personalities is what helps us stand out as well as earn people's respect; there is a way you present yourself, and people will not rate you at all, and at the same time, you will present yourself and lose people's respect. Our personalities either help us gain people's respect or lose it; a display of our personality says a lot about us. The truth is we cannot hide who we really are; we can have many personalities. Some of these personalities are noticeable from the first day people meet us, while some take time to show. We have all had an experience where we displayed a certain personality of ours, and it left people wondering if it was really us, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
I am kind of a shy person, so I always keep a very straight brace when I walk on the street, especially if I am alone. People tell me it makes me look mean and unapproachable; also, those who don't really know me take that for pride, but it is just my way of avoiding getting talked to, as I might not even know how to respond. But in most cases, people who eventually got close to me got to see the real me. I am a shy person, but when I get really comfortable around you, I become very jovial and at some point become the life of the party when we are together.

I have other personalities that leave people shocked when they get to find out, but people's reactions when they get close and see how jovial and smiley I can be top the chart. I have tried to keep a smiley face when I hit the street, but it just does not work for me, as I have gotten used to keeping a straight face till I arrive at my destination or I get to meet someone I know. There are many conclusions about my straight face when I walk; some say it's pride, and some say it's because of the environment where I was raised, but in all, coming to realize that I actually smile and I am jovial always leaves these people doubting their conclusions about me.
