Being as I can experience a multitude of emotions in a single day, and during just one of these I may meet someone for the first time, the impression I leave is not necessarily indicative of my overall demeanour or willingness to strike up a new friendship.
It just means I was probably preoccupied and, if the other party didn't try hard enough to seduce my attention, ( or vice versa) we'd part ways unaffected by the experience.
Occasionally I run into those who feel their emotional state at the time is a license to behave in an ignorant manner. Deliberate rudeness, snobbery, elitism etc is, IMHO, inexcuseable.
I've certainly been guilty of it and deserved everything I got.
Anyways, I believe if I want to kick things off on the right foot, it's down to me to show my hand first.
Armed with knowledge of all my own irrational fears it's almost easy to argue that it would be illogical to NOT like me if I put in a bit of effort.
