1) Wrong Perception
Since you don’t think twice before speaking of what’s going inside your ‘full of thoughts’ head. You blurt out whatever you are feeling before fully processing your emotions. So, people think you are being rash or being too’ truthful’. Something which they can’t handle. Therefore, your respect in their eyes decreases. They judge you hard and fast.
2) Flirting
You’re a friendly person, you love hanging out with people. Basically you’re a social animal. What you’re thinking is completely different from what you’re being perceived as. You are suddenly the person who ‘flirts’ around with everyone when you are just being polite or trying to have a conversation.
