Everything that you sense, what you hear, see, smell etc. is perceived. Some people will pay more attention to all of these, while others will just zone in on a few things they think are important. That is one of the way's people's perceptions differ, the actual amount of information they take in.

Perceptions also differ based on experience. I'll give you an example, at one point it was discovered that learning connected to smell was more easily retrieved when the scent was present. However, people make many connections to smells when they grow up so you never know what is going to be triggered. I actually find the smell of horse manure brings back pleasant memories.

Experience is largely what teaches you to perceive something as positive - something that will benefit you, or negative - something that might harm you, or neutral - something that really doesn't matter. But perceptions can also be taught, especially by someone who is emotionally expressive, able influence others or an authoritarian leader.

In order to overcome a negative perception you either have to experience a benefit around something or someone that caused you harm in the past which is strong enough to change  your associations with that input. Surviving the harm and realizing all the pain that you went through has made you mature as a person makes that thing  no longer threatening and therefore no longer negative.

As long as you trust in yourself or other people you will be susceptible to negative perceptions.
