I really try not to judge people by how they look, but i have to admit i have done it and probably do it without realizing it. I remember I saw a new girl join my elementary class and just by looking at her I thought of her as stuck up. I didn't want to play with her and I wouldn't talk to her. I felt bad about evading her and eventually did talk to her. She turned out to be a really nice person. She became someone I could really talk to. To this day she is my best friend and if I would have let my judgement of her stop me from talking to her I would have missed out on a great friendship.
ReplyDeleteI judge girls really fast before i get to know them. I guess I assume all girls are the same, and I really don't get along with very many girls. I only have three close girl friends, but when i first met them i judged them too. I try really hard not to do it because it's not fair to these people i don't know anything about. I grew up around boys and always had boy role models. Maybe that is why i am so quick to judge girls.
ReplyDeletei can't say i do that these days, but like many people i'm sure i did this on a daily basis in high school. for some reason high schoolers seem to look at somebody and can deduce what they're into, and assume they know everything they stand for. they think to themselves and think that if they listen to a different genre of music surly they have nothing in common. i'd say i mostly did this with the jocks and asb students, but now that i'm out of high school i realize that i missed out on many potential friendships.
ReplyDeleteI am human, and like most i judge wether we like to admit, we all judge people at first glance. I remember once i judged a girl i had met, and i assumed she did not know anything about mixed martial arts like the UFC. I shortly found out this girl, knew more about the sport than I did myself, needless to say i felt a little stupid. My father was around when this happened and gave me some of the best advice which is to always assume the person standing in front of me, is smarter, stronger, and could probably kick my ass. That way I'm never caught off gaurd.
ReplyDeleteI can't recall a specific time where i was being judgemental but i do know that it happens witout me really noticing what i'm doing. If someone is completely different from me, thoughts like why and how they act a certain way will come across but i'm not someone who will express those feelings. I know i do my best not to act that way and try really hard to accept everyone.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit Im a person that judges alot. I try not to but I do it without noticing.I tend to judge guys alot. I hardley trust any of them.If I see a hot looking guy, to me hes just another player. I also judge both girls and guys alot by the way they talk and dress. I usually jugde a person on how they look until I get to actually speak to them thats when I know how they really are. Its a bad habit that everyone does but its something that you do unexpectedly without noticing.
ReplyDeletewhen i was a sophomore in high school a new girl came in to my history class and sat right beside me . right away she got off on the right foot with one of my guy first she kept hiding her face behind her sweater and giggling,at first i thought,"Oh wow this girl is new and shes already trying to get with a guy". the next morning i found out she was also in my english class she came up to me and said hi . i just smiled. after class he followed me to the restroom and asked me to show her around school At first i didn't want to, she seemed to materialistic and girly . I did it anyways , by the end of the day i we had shared so many stories and realized we had so much in common. We became really good friends afterwords.
ReplyDeleteI judged a girl that I am going out with a few years ago before we started dating. I thought she was kinda whack and heard stories that I thought were true that made me quick to judge her on a few things. After getting to know her a little better and we became closer, I figured the things that I judged her on were pointless and not true.
ReplyDeleteA time where I misjudged someone was a few years back. I had visited a girlfriend in San Diego. I was introduced to this girl named Stephanie. My friend had told me all kinds of negative things about her so I judged her based on what my friend told me. I hardly talk to her when I went to San Diego. I heard she was rude and snobby. Well, one day we got to hang out. I don't remember the reason why, but I do remember that's the day I got to know her. Now we are best of friends and even though she's married we try to see each other at least once a month. I learned a lesson that day. I learned not to judge. Sometimes you don't even realized you are doing it so I've learned to be careful on peoples judgement and wait till i've met the person.
