Usually people will generalize others from what they have learned in the past. Whether this is accurate or not.
And to some degree we all do that. Yes, even you.
If you stereo type anyone that is another form of this as well.
I hope that explains it.

I suppose that they read your answer to a question and assume what kind of person you are from that. I think if you go into a person's Yahoo bio and see all of the questions that they answered, then you can get a better idea of what that person is like.

Because it's human nature to project negative and positive attributes on other people before they actually know anything about them.

Because some people are judgemental and find it easier to judge someone based on what they see.

People make judgements on how you PRESENT yourself. You do it to other people too, that's human nature to "size" others up as quickly as we can. You are special and unique........just like everybody else!

actions speak louder that words.....regardless if they know your name or not, people can figure you out by what you do, what you say, and how you look. Thats just how it is.

Huh? What do you mean how do they think they know you and how you are? That really doesn't make any sense.
