I know just what you mean! When I meet someone I think is cute and start to develop a crush on, I'll imagine how she's probably really nice and funny and smart, but then I soon find out I built them up and created my own version of them. What makes it worse is when I find out they're not the nice person I thought they were, I can't seem to "let go" of the image I created and find it harder to forget them, I'll become slightly obsessed picturing "how it could have been" even though I know it's mostly just an illusion I've made.
I am the complete opposite. I associate the most negative things to people before i even get to know them. If the person turns out to be half way decent then im kinda shocked. I think this pessimistic attitude is the best way to deal with people.
