# Greetings Everyone 😍💕.
I believe that there are some certain things we humans must encounter in life as far as we have dealings with people. Stereotype is one of them. No one can say he or she has not been stereotyped because its something every human can encounter in one way or the other.
Although sometimes stereotypes maybe perceive positively in humans but most times we are stereotyped in a negative mindset which is truly not to be but you can not tell people how to feel or think towards people. For me I do not care what people think 💭 about me or the ideas they carry with my image once I know am doing what I feel is pleasing.
.# Dressing Appearance:
This is one place I have been stereotyped and have seen it clearly and visibly from some people around me especially women I come across. Right from when I was growing up I fall in love with fashion and till now that am aging, I have continued to maintain my fashion sense especially in the area of knowing what outfit to wear for work and those to certain occasions. And the problem I have encountered here with people is the envy and jealousy on why dressing flamboyantly, mean while its all about knowing what fashion sense is, which is just choosing the right combination of clothings and accessories to boost your look 👀 at all times.
The problem with people who are quick to judge others or who keeps ideas of others in their mind is that they don’t know how to put themselves together even while having the whole money 💰 and buying the most expensive clothings, accessories and trends. Looking good at all times does not cost 💲 much if you don’t want to be buying the most expensive dresses 👗, shoes 👠, bags 🧳and jewels 💎. All you need is knowing your budgeting and making sure to work towards it. Then, combining your outfit properly. This is just having fashion sense. People will like to carry their own idea about you, but just pretend as if you are not aware of their existence by pleasing yourself first.
Sometimes in life we might think 💭 we know people in and out , or totally can stand for people because we have been with them for a long period of tine. But in most cases, we have people who has dual personality. People who can change from how we know them to be. My zodiac sign as a Gemini ♊️ characterized me as someone with dual personality. I am someone who is considerate and very understanding. I can also say I have patience when it comes to dealing with people which is why I give benefit of doubts, allowing you to the end to play me for a fool. But then , the other side of me you will never like when it gets to putting the person involved in check. Often people will tell me “ I don’t know you with this character “ but this character they will criticize you with is what they brought out through trying to take you for a ride. Who is fooling who?
I don’t even know why many will say that my height is so dominating because of how tall I am. And this has made people see me as someone with over self esteem and pride. But its not just in my character to exhibit those. Am someone that is very down to earth, accommodating and can associate with anyone , having humility especially with the kind of job I do which involves public service of dealing with clients. I have come across many who eventually will say to me “I never know you are a nice person” because of maybe what they might have hard from others. But this is life for us. There will always be those that will perceive us wrongly, carrying the idea every where they go. We brought nothing to this world 🌍 and will eventually go with nothing. Why then the ego feeling? All these are the wrong perceptions people carry with them. But there is nothing we can do about it. We only try our best and leave the rest to God.
However, I see stereotyping as something we can’t stop from happening. People must always generate ideas of others in their heads, using it to criticize others and causing them damages. But its in our hands and power to let not what ever they believe or think 💭 about us negatively affect our well-being or our lifestyle for the sack of our mental health.
