We all go through life making assumptions or judgments based on what we see. We may not mean to hurt someone, but judging a person negatively can result in hurt feelings. I thought I'd start this thread so we could talk about what makes us think a certain way and judge others without knowing them. Talk about a situation where you judged someone negatively, or where someone judged you. No holds barred, and don't hold back. Sometimes the best relationships are formed on an incorrect assumption. Get things off your chest here without feeling guilty. I'll start off.
When I see certain homeless people, I tend to think they're only using money for drugs or alcohol.
When I see a blond girl with nice clothes, I automatically assume she is more privileged than I am.
I tend to look down on people who don't pursue education.
I judge Scientologists and tend to think they're whackjobs.
If I see a mother with her child and she doesn't hold that child's hand while crossing the street, I condemn her as a bad mother.
If I see and older, wealthy white gentlemen, I will assume he's a jerk republican.
Well, I'm glad I've got that off my chest. Who's next?
