An open book

In life, we will cross paths with a lot of characters, some colourful, some dull,some loud and some reserved.

But often, what you see may not be necessarily what you get.

I get quite uncomfortable if 5 minutes through my conversation with a stranger, she begins to talk to me like I'm her BFF.

Now who doesn't know that friendships take time to develop? After all, Rome was not built in a day.

I can't stand it when a person goes on and on forever and doesn't seem to need to catch a breather between each sentence.

Why can't she just shut the hell up already???

Maybe she was a mute in her previous life.

And judging by the rate she's going, she may go back to being one again in her next life since she has already fully utilized all her 'talktime' for 3 lifetimes.

And then there are people who pretend to be nice and extremely helpful but stabs you from behind when you're not looking.

Some individuals who seemed cocky on the exterior but as you get to know them better,you realize that they are actually kind people who will not hesitate to lend you a helping hand (or ear) when you need it.

Last but definitely not least, the type who are friends with everyone but then there's just something about him/ her that you just can't put your finger on. And no matter how hard you try, there always seem to be a humongous gap between the both of you.

Okay, so perhaps I didn't try hard enough. Or just couldn't be bothered to even try at all.

Maybe the problem lies with me, and not this person.
