If I ever meet someone new again----- and by someone I mean a new friend, acquaintance, or special someone, I'm thinking I should expose my negative sides first. If he can withstand it, we're good, if not, then goodbye. Easy as that.
I just thought that if someone can bear my bad side, I'll keep him, he's worthy of witnessing my best. It's better to let people think that "Ah, she has good sides too," rather than "Eh? She's just feigning kindness." The former sounds much better, isn't it?
In my case, I am more of a negative person. That overwhelming side conquers my whole personality. And I still haven't fixed it. I may be sharp-tongue, short-tempered, prank, has a stone heart, rolling eyes, and someone who care less about people I find unworthy of my attention, but I'm a good friend too, a supportive sister, and a loving daughter. I'm considerate, forgiving, understanding, and always trying to give my best effort to someone who needs my help.
To not soil this good side of mine, I rather have someone condemn me first by seeing my bad side then realize I'm a good person despite of that.
I treat myself as a treasure, hidden at the very center of a stone castle, surrounded with high and hard walls, but brimming with fragile pillars. One must break those walls that protect and guard me, though it's not easy, it's guaranteed that the efforts wouldn't be in vain.
If I ever meet someone new again, like a random passenger in my rusty bus but has comfortable and golden seats, I'm gonna tell him "Hey, welcome to my life. Roads may be bumpy and we may get lost on our journey, but the destination would be worth it. Try your best to overcome it all."
