I judge people before I get to know them.

And it’s not because I’m a bitch, it’s because I like to observe how one carries himself or herself before I get to know them. It’s my defense mechanism to avoid becoming friends or associating myself with people who are shady and untrustworthy.

I know I should give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but I feel as if I have this sixth sense that tells me to be cautious of certain individuals . Every time I went against it in the past, it ended up hurting me.

Don’t get me wrong, I give everyone my utmost respect regardless of who you are and what you did. I just don’t enjoy handing my heart out to people who could potentially hurt it without any disregard.

I may not have a thousand friends, but I have a handful of great ones.

And for that, I’m extremely grateful.
