Thank you for your words, @loveleenwrites. They reminded me of my school days — several of my classmates, before we became closer and started talking regularly, also told me I seemed too serious, proud, or as if I didn't like anyone. But once they got to know me, they saw their assumptions weren't true, and that we could connect and build strong friendships. It's true that appearances can be deceiving sometimes hahaha, and they prevent us from truly seeing who is really behind an expression. Many blessings!
