Hello, potatoes! There are definitely people who you connect with instantaneously. However, there are some people that you are not compatible with or you think you are but ultimately end up falling out. In this episode, I discuss an event that happened with an acquaintance where I ended up assuming their character and became conflicted when they were nothing like the person in my mind. The assumptions created expectations that "Green" did not meet, but that does not make them a bad person at all. I realize that it was bad on my part for idealizing them in a certain way and making generalizations about their personality. (I ended up distancing myself due to being uncomfortable from the guilt and dissonance I felt whenever I talked to them.) I also reflected on times when one of my close friends and I assumed what the other would think and made an assumption: "an assume of you and me." The overall idea is to refrain from thinking that making friends is not easy as 1-2-3, generalizing people's characters before you get to know them, and stopping assumptions from clouding your relationships. I hope that was some helpful advice to a pretty spooky topic. (If you cannot tell, I'm super stoked about Halloween.)
"have a great day! wishing you the best as always! cato, rollin' on out!"
