<p>Seriously...I mean, okay, I understand judging people AND keeping the thoughts to your head and not take these thoughts seriously.
But to SHOW them out when interacting with those people? To judge harshly?</p>
<p>I mean, why do people already assume someone's arrogant by the way he/she walks and avoid that person completely?? (Just giving an example)</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but I don't let superficial things like that affect the way I percieve people the way they actually are. </p>
<p>Is this just a high school thing? I believe peace is achieved by understanding someone...</p>
<p>Without conversing with someone, how else do we gain a comprehension of what that individual is like without utilizing past recognitions of typical behavior exemplified by others possessing similar outside characteristics? Until we meet and converse with an alternative individual, we solely have assumptions of what we believe that individual might be like. I don’t believe that tendency applies solely to high school. While ideally we shouldn’t judge individuals upon first meeting them, we typically do, sometimes without first acknowledging it. However, upon learning more about that person, our perspectives usually change. I think that the main barrier is looking past that first impression of one’s outer surface.</p>
<p>We evolved to judge, from the time we were cavemen. Often, we do not have all of the information in a given situation available to us, so we make educated guesses and inferences based on past knowledge (for example, gray skies mean that it could rain, bitter foods are poisonous, etc).</p>
<p>If you held a school hostage using a gun to keep people from resisting, wouldn’t you in turn be “held hostage” by the government, while an officer has a weapon to keep you from resisting?</p>
<p>its human nature, and don’t tell no one here has judged we all judge, all humans do it. And if you don’t think you judge you might do it without noticing.</p>
<p>You’re looking at theoretical instead of practical. Nobody has the time to “truly” get to know every person. Even if you tried, you’d probably still be wrong and judge them incorrectly. So I don’t see what you’re trying to get at.</p>
<p>I don’t see anything wrong with judging. It’s going to occur, regardless of how “correct” it is, and people will react on it. You’re probably just too sensitive.</p>
<p>My thought exactly. Before you go around telling people how to live their lives, make sure you live up to your own standard. </p>
<p>I judge people, and I don’t really care. I have a really good knack for knowing someone of bad character. And just because I judge someone before talking to them doesn’t mean my impression never changes.</p>
<p>The thing is, one AUTOMATICALLY judges. There’s no way to avoid it. It’s how you use the snap judgment that matters–whether you listen to your gut, ignore it, whatever.</p>
