Default Re: Have u ever changed your view of someone?

I have had that happen a few times with people I've worked wth down the years, I've thought I liked them and that we were similar people but then they've said or done something that has made me realise that there was a lot too them that I just hadn't seen and it's made me realise that we weren't similar at all and there was no potential for any kind of relationship.

The most prominent memory I have was a woman I worked with in my first job, I was 17 and she was over 30 but we just got along really well and became fast friends due to working in the kitchen together.

It was a few months later when she felt we were close enough she decided to share some of her past with me and while I honestly wasn't judgemental about it (even though some of it was really bad) it was like there had been a wall obscuring half of who she was and suddenly it had all came down and I saw that while we could always get along well enough a real friendship was always going to be out of reach, partly because the years difference between us meant I just couldn't begin to appreciate or understand how she'd done the things she'd done and honestly how she lived with it......because I'm not sure I could.
