2021/7/4 #poetry If I had to assume, I'd say most of my assumptions about people, my first impressions, are upward of ninety percent accurate. I know I'm not supposed to rely too heavily on my assumptions, but people aren't exactly hiding who they are. Assuming is how the brain operates after all. I realize that I am biased and will promptly forget my misjudgments while retaining more accurate impressions. If we didn't do that we would probably feel a lot less safe. I suppose this is the case for many people, they don't trust their assessments and take much longer to trust new people.
