Huh. To me that seems like it's either trivially true or it's nonsense, depending on definitions.

Of course nobody knows anybody 100% - especially not oneself. So each person gets a different view, with slightly different facts and assumptions about each other.

But on the other hand, strong or important personality traits tend to be noticeable after spending just a few minutes with a person.

While it's easy to assume that you can figure someone major personality traits out after a few minutes, that's actually called a thin slice judgement which can drastically misrepresent people, especially neurodivergent people.

Interesting. That I think puts it more on the 'trivially true' side (that everyone has a different view of everyone else, not necessarily an accurate one).

Yeah sorry about replying so flippantly, I edited it to be nicer, and you were right in your comment
