Blog 4 from myspace

Alright...so, something struck me today, and if i can word it right, it'll make a lot of sense...

People judge people...obviously. Thats just the way it is in this day and age. We all do it...and we dont wait to get to know a person before we start labeling them. We make a lot of assumptions and jump right to conclusions all the time...
A lot of the time, we base our assumptions on who people are friends with or what our friends say about them. I dont know why, but it took me until today to really realize this in full perspective.
I hear things my friends say about people, and immediately think that of them too, but then i get the chance to meet them and they end up being amazing people. Also, we often see who people hang out with, and immediately decide what we think they must be like. Im guilty of it too...plenty of times ive seen people with someone i dont like or whatever, and immediately assume theyre the same way, but chances are, they arent...

One of the biggest things we base labels on are our first impressions of people...This is a big one. Immediately, things like clothes or appearance will come to a lot of peoples minds, but that isnt what i mean; im talking about personality-wise... Sometimes without even noticing, we form thoughts about people based on how they act around theyre friends, or teachers, or anyone. We jump to conclusions like "Oh, theyre so obnoxious" or "Wow, what a whore," but is it really fair for us to judge that before we even know them?
Recently, ive seen how it works, and how drastically first impressions can change so quickly...I mean, in just a week or 2, ive gone from thinking a few people are so obnoxious to us being pretty close friends, and i know it isnt just like that for me.

You cant really deny it...we all judge people, but maybe we need to learn to be a little bit more tolerant and take time to get to know people before we decide what we think of them.



*****So, i was just re-reading all my old blogs, and i stumbled across this one and remembered the exact moments and people i was referring to when i wrote this. And while plenty of this is the truth in life, id also like to add that sometimes our first impressions of people tell us more than they ever will. Because people are fake, and once they kno ur paying attention to them, most will make u think what they want u to think. For the particular case i was referring to throughout this blog, i learned the hard way that sometimes u should stick with first impressions and trust what ur friends say about people. I should have stuck with what i knew about him >_<
