Get To Know Before You Judge

Image
We judge people we feel threatened by especially those who we perceive extremely better, we judge others by using big generalisation to put them down so we can feel better, but our judgement mostly have to do with us not the people we judge and same is true when others judge us. Most often we judge people before we even get to introduce ourselves, which is absolutely wrong you'd agree with me that most people we judge turn out to be the opposite of what we think of them to be when we really get to know them. We frequently make grave mistake of seeing people through other's eyes, if our friends have a negative thing to say about someone we stick to it without giving them a chance to prove what we've been told about them. The truth is your perception of others is a reflection of you. The bottom line is get to know someone before judging them.

Men Also Bleed

 I was out with some friends two days before January 2018, and we were all having a good time discussing our pains and gains for the year 2017 over a good meal, music, and the most lovely view, and over the course of the evening someone steered the conversation to one of my best friends Mr A and asked after his girlfriend, and why she was absent, because normally anytime we got together she would tag along, my friend started stuttering with pain in his eyes which was so unlike him with all blood drained from his face  he simply replied 'We're no longer together' There was an uncomfortable silence for about forty five seconds (like everyone of us was trying to make meaning of what he said in his or her way) which was immediately followed by a thousand and one question from the five other persons on the table I wanted asking what happened, but the look on his face made me realize he was not ready to talk about it. Unfortunately our other friends didn't understand

7 Signs You're With The Wrong Person

A friend who recently went through a bad breakup after being in a relationship for five years  said she realized the nights she spent awake crying over her man was more than the fun, happy time they had together, though she noticed they were not quite compatible along the line, but  thought she could fix things, make them better. She told me something that stuck, that if she had been able to tell herself the truth at the beginning she wouldn't have gone through the pain of a bad breakeup. My point is most times the signs that we are not compatible with our partners are there glaring at us, but we choose to ignore them telling ourselves that if we can put in extra work things will be just fine. These seven signs will help you find your way. 1) You can't be yourself The biggest mistake most people make in relationships is becoming someone else just to make the relationship work. If you're with someone who frequently criticise you for being you, criticise you for wh

Emem stepped into the deserted street at about 10:45pm, and regretted staying that late at the fashion house, at about that second her phone began to ring uncontrollably, who could be calling at this odd hour when she was trying to get herself home unharmed she thought, she was too scared to pick the call paradventure someone crawls from behind, as she skilfully opened her handbag and peeped to see who the caller was, fortunately enough just the right person to bail her out, as she wrapped her scarf round her head and neck using her earpiece to recieve the call   'Emem where are you?'. The exact salutation she had expected    'Uhmm..just closing' she said waiting for an outburst     'What?!' He brayed.     'Is your car still at the mechanic? anyway where ever you are go back to where humans are and I will come get you.'     'Okay' she said too scared to protest. She had met Tayo at the Mangu orientation camp in Plateau State. He was th

Never Beg For Love

There was this guy who asked me out during my undergraduate days in the University he would have been any girl's dream man, but not mine. From my first to final year, and even after graduation he kept asking and got the same reply a huge 'NO' but brother was not having it, and saw me as a cold stone ice queen. He became persistent as the years rolled by and got same old reply.  A few years ago he was forward about what he wanted; something serious that would last a life time, and how he would like us to start a family and grow old together, well I told him it was not going to work out that I have never felt what he felt, and did not see myself sharing that emotion in the nearest future he started begging and was on the verge of crying, but I made him understand that even If I were to accept his proposal he would never be a happy man, and love was a strong emotion to beg for or compel, and if not careful someone might take advantage of his emotion and hurt him.
