We See Who We See

I saw her as charming, friendly, gregarious, fun.
My sister saw her as the enemy.
I saw her as humorous, delightful, exciting, a kindred spirit.
My cousin saw her as a threat.

I saw him as boring, tedious, bland, banal.
My sister snapped him up as if he was lemon sherbet.
I saw him as annoying, bothersome, a misogynistic, evil bully.
My mother agreed, but my sister and cousin voted for him.
