I admit I felt that he was a strict and intimidating person. I did not dislike him neither do I fear him. If to put it simply, I know I am not an easy person to like. I know my flaws better than anyone does. If someone dislikes me for a reason, I know 10 more for them to dislike me. That said, I guess I was afraid of not being liked, afraid of being found irritating, afraid of being labelled as someone who is unable to get any shit right.
Today really opened my eyes to the people around me and the truth in words of wisdom passed on through generations where people laugh it of and make a joke out of it.
Only when you are down and out will you truly know the people who really wants to be there or are kind enough to still be there.
To you, I can't thank you enough. && I can't appreciate enough.
Truth to be told, you do not have to be a superstar to be a role model to someone else.

Something I found via google.
A short timeframe limits our ability to get to know someone at his or her core.
It goes without saying that first impressions are limiting in many ways. Sure, we can get either a positive or negative vibe about a person, but more often than not, it really limits our ability to get to know someone beyond a superficial level.
People aren’t all that easy to figure out; there are layers behind a persona and sometimes, in order to peel those layers back, time is an essential factor to do so.
After all, people are complex creatures who often surprise us in more ways than expected.
That guy who struck you as having no romantic bone in his body could possibly be more romantic than you might think, or that girl who seemed tough on the exterior may actually be a true softie.
In the end, time is a valuable asset. So, ladies and gents, don’t jump on the first impression bandwagon and think you’ve got someone figured out already because chances are, you don’t.
Be patient, and don’t let a first impression be the guiding point to someone’s overall demeanor. Everyone deserves more than just an initial judgment call.
I guess I judged myself faster than you can judge me and therefore created this "fear" of you.
