I know some people, but didn't know them well. Recently I visited a friend I don't like. He's a quiet person. He speaks very few and most of his words are not very nice and friendly. We spent some time together but we didn't talk much as always. The weird thing is I found that he is not that bad as I thought. His words did hurt my feelings before. And I still think what he did was very wrong. But I saw him being lonely and living an unhappy life. I saw him doing good things and giving good advice to others. I know him more, both good and bad sides. I realized no one is perfect. We have many different sides, good or bad. We are all sensitive. We got hurt and hurt others unconsciously. We make mistakes and feel embarrassed to correct. To dislike someone is also not easy. But now I can put it down. So I start thinking of if people don't like someone in the first place, would they give them another chance or try to understand them from other points of view? I know many people. But how well I know them?

I know some people, but don't know them well. (Keep tenses consistent if you can.)

Recently I visited a friend I don't like. He's a quiet person. He speaks very little, and most of his words are not very nice and friendly. We spent some time together but we didn't talk much, as always. The weird thing is I found that he is not as bad as I thought.
His words did hurt my feelings before. And I still think what he did was very wrong. But I saw him being lonely and living an unhappy life. I saw him doing good things and giving good advice to others. I know him more, both good and bad sides. I realized no one is perfect. We have many different sides, good or bad. We are all sensitive. We get hurt and hurt others unintentionally. We make mistakes, and feel embarrassed to put them right. To dislike someone is also not easy. But now I can let it go.

So I started thinking, if people don't like someone in the first place, would they give them another chance, or try to understand them from other points of view? I know many people. But how well do I know them?

I know some people, but [didn't]/don't know them well.

Recently I visited [a friend*]/an acquaintance/a person I don't like much or I don't much like. * if you don't like him, he can't be a friend; a friend, by definition, is someone you like He's a quiet person. He speaks very [few]/little and most of his words are not very nice and friendly. We spent some time together but, as usual, we didn't talk much [as always]. The weird thing is that I found that he is not that bad/not as bad as I had thought.
His words before did hurt my feelings [before], and I still think what he did was very wrong. But I saw [him being]/that he was lonely and living an unhappy life. I saw him doing good things and giving good advice to others. I know him more/better, both the good and bad sides. I realized no one is perfect. We have many different sides, good or bad. We are all sensitive. We got hurt and hurt others unconsciously. We make mistakes and feel embarrassed to admit/correct. To dislike someone is also not easy. But now I can put it [down]/to one side i.e. disregard, ignore.
So I have started thinking of that if people don't like someone in the first place, would they give them another chance, or try to understand them from another points of view? I know many people. But how well do I know them?

Very well-written, and a good insight in to human character.

I know some people, but not well.

Recently I visited an acquaintance who/m I don't like. He's a quiet person. He speaks very little and most of his words are acid and unfriendly. We spent some time together but, as always, we didn't talk much. The weird thing is that I found that he is not as bad as I thought.
His words hurt my feelings before. And I still think what he did was very wrong. But I saw him being lonely and living an unhappy life. I saw him doing good things and giving good advice to others. I know him more, both good and bad sides. I realized no one is perfect. We have many different sides, good or bad. We are all sensitive. We get hurt and hurt others unconsciously. We make mistakes and feel embarrassed to correct them. To dislike someone is also not easy. But now I can put that away.
So I start thinking what if people don't like someone in the first place. Would they give them another chance or try to understand them from other points of view? I know many people. But how well do I know them?
