Don’t paint me a snob

Daily writing prompt
What’s the first impression you want to give people?

It’s not that I care about the kind of impression I give people, I feel like I honestly don’t care. I ‘spose walking into a job interview or that type of situation would have me more concerned with first impressions.

At the same time, there is one impression I don’t want to leave with people.

I would hate for anyone to think I’m snobby. My Dad always taught my sisters and I to be friendly to people, give a wave, hold the door behind you, say hi.

He always said, (and probably still says) how much he appreciates when people are friendly and even chatty. I’m talking about perfect strangers or people he’s just met.

He really admires that in people and so I’ve always tried to be friendly.

Sometimes being friendly has landed me in trouble but that’s a story for another time.

I don’t really care about coming across as confident or anything like that, maybe that’s because I have so much confidence, (or so I’ve been told).

Just don’t paint me a snob.

Oh and this happened a few days ago…pretty cool.

I LOVE this picture, it was Taz’s birthday and he’s on the phone with his grandparents, he’s now 21 so goes back a few years
Yay me!

  5. Congratulations on your well deserved views! πŸ™‚ You are anything but snobby!

    When I came out of small private schools into public schools, I got ‘aloof’ a lot. That’s what terrified and shy reads to more streetwise teens. lol

      Every time I hear the word aloof it reminds me of how you would describe a cat lol…it’s not necessarily a bad thing ;-D

      1. Yes, maybe. πŸ™‚ When I was young I was like a cat scratching from the inside to get out, even though it seemed to others I was keeping myself at a distance. πŸ™‚
