These stereotypes only hurt us and stand in our way to actually see the person in front of us for who they are and not what we have made them out to be. In my eyes what you see is not what you get.

In conclusion, humans are complicated beings. It is not as easy as taking a look at someone and already knowing everything about them. Time is needed because what is on the outside is rarely what is on the inside.
