Have you ever had a negative perception of someone in highschool or college, but you are cool with them now, if so what changed?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah, and their personality

Yeah, I think me and the person just matured

Nah, usually if I didn't like them in school, I wouldn't like them now

Nah, and I would not have expected anything to have really changed even if I did see them again

Nah, but maybe they might be different

I went to school with a girl since kindergarten, I was never really friends with her but knew her. When we were in highschool, she was forgettable and unremarkable. I moved my junior year but went back to visit old friends when I was twenty and ran into her at the beach, I didn't even recognize her. She was drop dead gorgeous! I mean a 10 out of 10. We actually hung out together for a couple days and had a blast. She was so much fun and so sweet.. When I got back home, I looked in my old year books and found her, I realized she was actually very pretty but really didn't do much to accentuate it. She just looked plain but had very pretty features. It's too bad we didn't become friends, we could have had a lot of friends and I would have loved to doll her up (if she let me) 😂

*a lot of FUN* not friends. This autocorrect is really starting to piss me off!

I don’t meet people from high school. So I don’t really know.

Nah, usually if I didn't like them in school, I wouldn't like them now. In my limited experience, once a jerk, always a jerk.

If I hated them in high school, I would not piss on them if they were on fire

Thanks for the MHO😎

During my college years, there was a classmate who initially seemed aloof and unapproachable. Over time, as we worked together on group projects, I discovered shared interests and a mutual respect for each other's strengths. What changed was taking the time to understand their perspective and recognizing our complementary skills. Building open communication and working towards common goals transformed our relationship from distant to collaborative, highlighting the importance of not forming judgments too quickly. This experience taught me the value of empathy and the potential for positive connections when we look beyond first impressions.
