the misconception of Shallow people...turned into the misconception of people

    When a person likes another person for their looks or because of one little thing and announce that they already "love them" after only ten minutes of meeting them, this person is called shallow. Shallow defines someone who only looks a superficial things and judges solely for the reason  I think that the meanings of words plays a big part in a person's perspective of someone being shallow versus someone who is not. An example can be if a boy says he "likes" a girl after only a few minute of meeting her, his definition of liking probably isn't the same definition of liking you have in your mind. His form of liking may be growing fond of while yours may mean that he would want to have a relationship with her.
     Judging a person by what they do or say probably isn't exact to the things they are actually thinking. A person might say one thing, but really mean something else. Saying someone is shallow brings the problems of judging into play. You don't know how someone feels or know someone's true motives unless you are that person. Everyone has their special ways of thinking and expressing themselves. It can be true that the way that this specific person expresses themselves is by telling you something and meaning something else completely. You would never know the truth. So really, it's not the misconception of shallow people but the misconception of people in general.
     It may not even be a case where someone expresses themselves to you. It can be you subconsciously looking at a person and judging them based on what you see or what you hear. First impressions play a very important role when you judge someone because if your first impression of a person is that they is that they are very cunning and bad, then no matter what that person does or says, you assume that they only do things for bad purposes even if they mean well. When you see someone who has a kind face and a nice personality, you automatically think the best of them because of how much you think you know them. Although this type of judging is unfair, it happens constantly without us paying any real attention to the things we think of people.
