You'd say that's a bad thing?
Well, it's human nature. We ALL do it, and probably without thinking about it.
But still, these prejudices, I do not like them.
I wish I could say I do not judge people, but I do. I try not to.
They can be small or big prejudices. Some of which you may think are "normal", which is what is most worrying.
- Fat people eat a lot.
- Jewish people have weird beards and hats.
- Black people will try to rob you.
- Skinny people are anorexic.
- Blondes are stupid.
- Being clever means you're a geek/nerd.
- Having sex is one of the most important things.
- Seeing a therapist means you're insane.
- Old people are smelly and stupid.
- Young people are stupid and superficial.
These are just 10 that I could things of off the top of my head. I know the list goes on and on and on.
And how many of those are true?
N-O-N-E
You may say to yourself "but I know a stupid blonde, I know a crazy person who sees a therapist"
Yes, you will obviously know someone who fits into each category. But the point is that it's not because one person fits a category, that everyone does.
For example, say you know one young person who is stupid and superficial, that does not mean that EVERY young person is stupid and superficial.
This is the big problem.
We all know someone who fits into a category, and this progresses to us expecting such things.
This means that whenever we are introduced to someone, we judge them, categorize them.
I see a therapist. I am not crazy.
I am fat. I do not eat a lot.
I am young. I am not stupid or superficial.
We are all people. We all have feelings. We all have qualities and flaws. Not everyone can like us.
But, being disliked because of someone judging you for something which is basically rumour, is pathetic.
So pathetic.
It makes me lose hope in the human race.
Why can't people just get to know others, instead of judging them and distancing themselves.
