Perception

Even though I’ve taken numerous psychology courses I still had a hard time believeing there wasn’t a difference in size between the table tops. I’ve seen that photo over a dosen times and I still can’t seem to believe they are the same size. This made me start to think that maybe there are things in my life that even though I may feel so strongly about something it actually maybe incorrect and I need to learn to open to the idea of things not always seeming as they appear. There are so many times that my perceptions have been incorrect however I choose to stick to my original conclusion. I think this is the reason because I hate admitting that I was wrong and to do so would show I’m not very informed.

There have been numerous instances where others perception of me has caused a problem. They often viewed me as being quite and unsocial which has prevented them from talking to me or even allowing me to be part of the group. This is further from the truth and because of this I have had to go out there to really show them who the real me is and that I am very social and very outspoken.
