Don’t underestimate me, I might surprise you

There is a tremendously popular saying that says that We never finish getting to know people and, when we think we have, they surprise us. This is one of the most beautiful feelings you can have with someone, unless it happens to you because you underestimate them. In that case, do not underestimate him, because he could make you rectify.

Any type of relationship needs to be renewed with new discoveries in the other that we did not know and It improves a lot if on both sides there is the capacity and motivation to surprise. However, it is the discoveries that have a nuance that we must be careful with, especially in those situations in which we meet someone for the first time.

That being said, all of us In the first contacts with a person we make hypotheses about what they could be like. Action that, to a certain extent, is totally human and that does not have to be harmful, but rather involuntary. If this impression is somewhat negative, be careful because we tend to confirm our first impressions instead of trying to falsify them.

Don’t underestimate me, try to really know me

It is true that there is a group of people who talk much more than they think and, sometimes, say more than they know. You could even say that each of us has done it at some point. However, this is not the general norm: Most of us say less than we know, we think more than we speak and we realize more things than we make people believe.

This is a self-defense mechanism against the fear of completely stripping ourselves emotionally and completely to someone. Other times we simply like to make ourselves known little by little and that the knowledge does not exceed either the speed imposed by time or the doses of shared affection.

For these reasons, If we are not attentive we could miss great people and if we judge beforehand we could make mistakes which we may regret later. Let’s leave room for what they teach us, don’t underestimate, let’s not label ahead of time and, from there, let’s cultivate healthy relationships from which there is always something to learn.

Don’t underestimate me or the problem will be yours

The truth is that it is not good for our own peace to underestimate ourselves, but we also do not feel good when someone attributes less value to us than we have as people, because no one should have the audacity to try to make us feel small.

If this has ever happened to you and you have known how to act on it, it is beneficial to feel good about the courage you used. If, on the other hand, you didn’t know how, you can remember for the next time the one who underestimates you really has a problem with himself.

People who behave like this probably have low self-esteem and don’t know it: it is a response to the internal discomfort that is normally paid with those who make the least noise.

The smaller they think I am, the bigger I can be

Underestimating someone means expecting less from that person than they could give and that is when the moment comes when we are hit in the face: we cannot be aware of the limits or the real potential of others, but there are those who think yes and falls into error. In fact, The less they bet on you is when you achieve your goals the most.

I’m tired of listening to people who claim to be able to “get through” a person quickly or to know which foot they’re limping on. Rather, they should boast about giving people few opportunities to not be like them as they have originally imagined.

It is not uncommon for someone who has this thought and identifies a person as unkind, to behave in this way that they attribute, thus increasing the chances of receiving the same treatment in reciprocity and therefore confirming what they thought at the beginning.

There are wonderful people who would do things that we would never have imagined and there are others who contribute at the exact moment that grain of sand that you did not count on.. There are those who surprise you one day with a detail that shows that they know you more than you thought and there are those who grow “in small steps” because they believe in their abilities, even having people around them telling them that no, they can’t.

So Don’t let them underestimate you, don’t underestimate you and don’t forget the surprise factor with anyone, because the unforeseen and unexpected is part of our essence as humans and, therefore, of life itself.
