I am a terrible person. I try so hard, but I am awful. I am too judgmental.
Seriously. All it takes is a look and maybe even an overheard conversation and I can 'classify' a person in the different sections in my head. From this, I can decide if I will like them or not. I FREAKING HATE THIS! I want to like everyone, and be tolerable, but sometimes people just irk me.
For example, I'm sitting in the MC and there's a group of people sitting in the middle area and they are those people. They're dressed a certain way, have expensive looking things, and are loud. I immediately don't like them. Why? I HAVE NO IDEA!
Or, I see someone on campus in flip-flops, and if they match that criteria, I assume they are bad people because they are breaking the honor code.
I really don't like that I do this. I am trying to stop, but I can't shut off the stereotypes in my head. It's usually with the same kind of people, too. I don't want to be judgmental, at all. It blocks out the chance you have to make friends, and it's not Christ-like.
I can judge people because they wear 'fancy' clothes and have expensive things. But, what do people think of me? I have a nice computer and and iPhone. I try my best to dress nice, but my clothes are in no way the hottest trend nor expensive.
This is my new project: To stop being so judgmental. I'll keep you up to date as I go along and hey, maybe I'll figure this thing out.
