Most People Don't See You.
Not really.
They see a version of you their brain already made up.
Let me show you:
A little kid sits down for lunch.
His mom puts some chopped-up green grapes on his plate.
Sweet. Juicy. Safe.
He eats them happily.
So now, in his head:
Small green pile on the plate = yummy (😋).
Next day, he sees the same kind of green pile on his plate.
Same shape.
Same color.
😋
He digs in without thinking…
And instantly regrets it.
It’s relish.
He Grimaces. 😬
Spits it out. 🤮
Starts crying.😭
What happened?
He trusted the color.
He trusted the shape.
He thought he knew what it was.
But his brain filed it under the wrong thing.
And when it didn’t match… he rejected it hard.
That’s exactly how grown-ups operate too.
Only instead of food, they’re sorting:
- People
- Offers
- Advice
- Opportunities
They’ve had bad experiences.
They’ve been burned.
They’ve been let down.
So now they label fast.
And they miss what’s actually good.
If your message doesn’t look like what their brain already trusts?
They toss it out—even if it’s exactly what they need.
That’s why I talk so much about failures and fallacies.
Because people carry:
- Past stories that made them stop trusting
- Old beliefs that don’t serve them anymore
And those things shape every decision they make.
So what do you do?
You don’t yell louder.
You speak in a way that feels familiar…
Then gently flip the plate and show them what’s really there.
That’s how you shift perception.
That’s how you get heard.
I break this down more in Module 4.
Your camp buddy!
