I’ll admit that the only reason I was never too fond of you was because of what and how others perceived you as. I was constantly being told that you were someone I wouldn’t get along with because of your “tough” personality and that if I were to ever be your friend, I would be looked down upon. I was even told that you wouldn’t even associate yourself with me unless you were told to. Clearly, I didn’t know you very well, or just barely at all, and I was fed things that prevented me from approaching you and initiating a simple conversation. I was completely in the wrong because I’ve realized that the only reason why these people are not so fond of you is because they don’t understand where you’re coming from and that is something that I understand personally. I know you’re a good person with good intentions and that’s how I see you now.

You surprised me quite a bit because I never thought that you would give me the slightest of interest considering the fact that I intentionally did the best I could to avoid any contact with you. And for that, I apologize for my behavior. You are a generous person with a big heart and I applaud you for being yourself and not letting others get the best of you.

This just goes to prove that you really can’t just judge someone based off another’s experience, but only your own.
