MY first impressions judgements are horrible?

Fun Fact #2 Most of initial "enemies" are my closest friends; and those that I thought I had the same frequency, just faded away. Though I am right, some of the time, the "enemy" is still the "enemy" forever. But lower percentage than i expected. 20% maybe ?

I guess one of the reason for this is I sometimes confuse good, honest rivalry with despising the "enemy". Being raised and brought up with a highly competitive characteristic, if I think your good at something, you are usually my rival. I either want to beat you at your own game, or express your inadequacies which I have superiorty over you.

Probably I used to think that you need to be seen as a RIVAL and not a FRIEND. I guess now MY RIVALS are also usually MY FRIENDS because it means I have a real respect for some aspects of them. And with respect comes tolerance and a lot of other things. There are also a lot of good memories that come with rivalry that strengthens a bond after you see past all the differences and concentrate on the commonalities. I always enjoy a good rivalry honestly.

Moreover, there are some people that over the years are just NOT AS ANNOYING as they used to be. That is a fact. so they are no longer the "enemy". They have either adapted, changed for the better, or they just understand the style of communicatiing with you after the years of trial and error.

However, in the end, there are just some people that will FOREVER be annoying man, SERIOUSLY!!
