>Some people shun advice like a disease<
It's called pride. We've all got it to some degree. We don't like to be told we're wrong, even though intentions may be good.
Note 1: Disclaimer in place-"I'm being cynical and
having my moment of 'self therapy' by wording my thoughts in the form of advice."

Note 2: Definition of 'advice' from Dictionary.com.
ad·vice
n.Opinion about what could or should be done about a situation or problem; counsel.
Opinion does not equal command / order. Too many times people think they're being 'told what to do' when an advice is just simply an opinion. A true friend respects another friend's opinion. Problem with an opinion/advice? Bring it up for discussion. Don't get into a fit and think "OH, who are YOU to tell ME what to do?!"

>Once people have seen your negative, that's what they'll most probably perceive you as the rest of your waking time.<
That's subjective, don't generalise.
Note1: The words 'most probably' were used. If I wanted to generalise it, I would have said , " Once people have seen your negative,thats what they'll ALWAYS perceive you as the rest of your waking time" There's a difference there.

>Pretend pretend pretend. So many times I see and observe how people truly are, stripes and all. Only to see it all dissappear in a split moment when somebody else is present, quickly shoving their dirt and grime under a rug. Are they two-faced? Who cares,pretenders are the most popular. Reveal what they are, and you only have yourself to suffer for your attempt.<
It's a defense machanism. We all want to be loved, it's only human. So naturally one wouldn't be parading their bad side, but rather seek to conceal it so that others are not driven away.
Note 1: My comment didnt mean to encourage people to parade their bad side. Rather making the change in behaviour so apparent when someone else they want to impress is present is a tad sad. It isn't anyone's fault, unless the person makes it known that they are hard to impress and to be their friend, you gotta have what it takes. Well..to these kind of people, I say to you "Take a look at yourself. I don't have to waste my time trying to impress you" So what if I'm happy and confident enough to show my good AND bad side. In any case, I only show both sides to those I trust or have faith enough to know that this is me, Kevin. I have nothing to hide. I have been naive though, and my judgement as to whom I reveal myself to has been poor.
