Reality TV star, Cynthia Nwadiora, popularly known as Ceec, has opened up about how people judge her personality, saying many fans mistake her confidence for arrogance.
Naijaonpoint reports that the former Big Brother Naija housemate shared her thoughts during a chat with Teddy A on the Echo Room podcast.
During the conversation, she explained that living in Nigeria comes with a challenge where people easily follow negative labels without taking time to know a person.
She said that once someone is tagged as a bad person, many others accept it without meeting the individual involved.
Ceec said this has affected how some people see her brand, as many assume she is arrogant even before having any personal interaction with her.
She added that anyone who meets her in person will realise she is different from the image created online and will likely change their opinion about her.
She also mentioned that she tries her best to give people a better understanding of who she is whenever they meet her, hoping they leave with a clearer and more accurate impression.
She said: “As I said, I usually live in Nigeria, where a lot of people follow the bad work. Like if somebody says Oh, this person is a bad person, people don’t even wait to experience you. They just, oh yeah, they say she’s a bad person.
“So people don’t actually get to know you. So yeah, a lot of people see my confidence as being arrogant.
“But I would say something that you cannot meet me in person or experience me as a person, and go home and say I’m arrogant. You would definitely have a change of mindset about me.
“So it has cost me a lot, because I hear some people say, oh, that one, she’s just arrogant. You don’t even know me, but that’s what you, you know, like.
“So it has, but one thing that I’ve tried to do is I make sure that when you meet me, when you give me the grace to get to know me, you will not go home feeling that way.”
