I began to see a pattern after meeting enough people, where I would meet someone knew, and my first thought where that they where half my friend from college, and the other half my crazy French friend.
Did you figure out a reason for why did everyone remind you of those two people? That sounds very peculiar. Was there something particularly special about them?
"Whenever you think someone doesn't like you, is judging you, or is even outright belittling you, the thing that you always need to be cognizant of is that they will the majority of the time be projecting their internal state. If they are telling you that they think you suck, most likely they in fact think deep down inside that they suck."
This is very much true. Often the things I judge people for are the things I judge in myself.
Something other that I've realized is that rather than giving people the benefit of doubt, I assume they are just being a dick because I'm afraid of being wrong and embrrasing myself for thinking that they might have been a nice person. I think this is very, very weird way to think. Again it all boils down to being comfortable with yourself, as you said. Being comfortable with being judged.
What I meant is that you start to see patterns of personalities. Like each new person could be categorized as similar to someone that you had met before.
