The Intricacies of a Person

How long does it take a person to get accustomed to another's mannerisms?

For some people its just a matter of days, between others it can take years.

Why is that?

Those bonds that we create with each other can bring out the real us.

However the more quality time we spend with a person helps us realize who another person is. Even just time spent with another makes us aware of people's actions and what not. But why is that at times years can pass by and you can end up not knowing the slightest details of a person you've shared countless memories with?

Isn't that just sad?

Perhaps you have some kind of lame excuse to counter my argument. But to me, if you become acquainted so well with another person, you ought to at least become aware of their likes, dislikes, and some mannerisms. Even the least perceptive person should be able to pick up on things like that. So why is it that people trying to be friends can't manage to do that?

Sadly it's probably because humans just tend to focus in on our own selves. I'm definitely guilty of that.

That being said I challenge you to become someone who does not only befriend people, but understands them.

Mind you though to gain ground, you must also give some. Remember that and with understanding as your goal. You'll truly become a friend/person that can be depended on, trusted, and a friend any friend would love to have.
