Do You Trust Your Intuition?

What does your intuition tell you when you meet someone for the first time?
What are your thoughts on the first impression they make to you?

'I like this person'
'This is a nice person'
'This person seems funny'
'This person seems to be smart'
'This person scares me'
'This person seems nice but there is something that makes me not want to really get to know them',
'I don't like this person and I don't know why'.

Do you trust your first impressions?
Do you try to prove them wrong?

Rarely, talking to someone, or trying to get to know them might prove your first impression is wrong.
Most of the times however, you are just wasting your time.

We often sense that there is something we do not like about a person.
However, we keep on insisting to get to know them, in hope that what our first impression of them was is wrong.
Guess what? It always turns out we were right on the first place. 

If you want to see someone's true colours, pay attention to their behaviour.
But do not filter the things you don't like.
Those small moments, those small instances are the ones that truly paint someone's true colours.

Trust your intuition.
Listen to it.
What it has to say to you will save you energy, that you would have otherwise invested in people worth hanging around with.
