Do Not Underestimate Me, I May Surprise You
According to a popular expression, you never stop getting to know other people and when you think you know them, they will amaze you. This is one of the most beautiful feelings you can have for something, if you have not underestimated them. So do not underestimate others, because you may be wrong.
Every relationship must be renewed by learning new things about the other person that you did not know before, especially if you can surprise each other. But these discoveries have nuances that you need to be careful about, especially if you have just met the person.
With that said, everyone gets a first impression of someone they meet for the first time. To a certain extent, this is completely human, and it does not have to be harmful. It is rather something that happens without being able to help. But if your first impression of someone is negative, then be careful, because we tend to confirm our first impressions instead of disproving them.
Do not underestimate me, try to really get to know me
It is true that there are people who talk more than they think, and who say more than they know. It can also be said that we have all done this at some point. However, this is not the norm. Many of us say less than we know, think more than we talk, and note more than we think.
This is a defense mechanism against the fear of being emotionally vulnerable with someone. And sometimes we simply want others to get to know us gradually, so that things do not go too fast.
For these reasons, you may miss getting to know amazing people if you are not paying attention . And if you judge them too early, you may regret it later. Give them space to learn things, do not underestimate them, do not put labels on them. Try to cultivate healthy relationships so that you can always learn something from them.
If you’re underestimating me, that’s your problem
It is not good for your inner peace to underestimate yourself, but it also does not feel good when someone appreciates you less than you are worth. No one should have the audacity to try to make you feel small.
If this has ever happened to you and you knew how to react then you should feel good about having had this courage. And if you did not know how to react, then you should remember next time that the people who underestimate you actually have problems with themselves.
People who behave in this way have a low self-esteem and do not know about it. It is a response to their inner chaos, and they make other people pay for it.
The smaller you think I am, the bigger I can become
Underestimating other people means that you expect less from them, and this is where they surprise you. You can not know the real limits and the potential of them. Those who think they know this are wrong. In fact, the moment when others believe least in you is when you best achieve your goals.
I’m tired of hearing people say they can easily “see through” others. They could just as easily have boasted that they do not give these people enough chances to be who they first thought they were.
It is common to think this way and give someone the label unfriendly, and then to behave towards the person in this way. You therefore increase the risk of getting the same treatment back in order to confirm what you thought from the beginning.
There are so many amazing people who do things you could never have imagined, and there are others who give you just what you need at just the right moment. People may surprise you with a small detail that shows that they know you better than you thought. It is these people who grow slowly but surely, because they believe in themselves, even though there are people around them who tell them that they can not.
So do not let others underestimate you, do not underestimate them, and do not forget that anyone can surprise you, because unexpected things are part of being human and therefore part of life.
