Why do people...?

Question

Judge the way people look? Like, The way they wear their hair, Cross dressing, Gay, Lesbian, Disabilities, Etc, Before they judge people they need to look at themselves first! Do you judge? Or do you accept?

Answer 1

I just accept! I learned the hard way though! I have always been very petite and slim. Never had a problem getting a guys attention or anything. I got sick and was put on a massive dose of steroids and it made me gain tons of weight. Do you know that people where so mean to me, as where before, I couldn't get rid of guys messing with me. After I got off the meds and lost all of the excess weight, It made me so upset when people started accepting me again. I also had a baby that had cancer and had to have 43 surgeries, most of them being on her head, since that is where the cancer was. You would expect kids to look because they don't know better, but there where more adults that would stare, not just peek, STARE at that 4 year old baby like she was a ghost or something! Through experiences, I have learned to accept people as they are. You never know what people feel till you have walked in their shoes!!

Answer 2

Good question although your examples do not really support what you said. I think all people judge to some degree. The reason for it is it's just not practical to take the time to get to know every individual you have to interact with, so we create categories based on a few behaviors or looks. Usually we're right, but there are exceptions. I think it's relatively harmless until we start making decisions based on these preliminary judgments, such as refusing to date someone or denying them a job before we have a real idea of who they are.

Answer 3

I must admit when I think people have tried too hard to present themselves in a certain way I am always suspicious of what they are hiding.
ie if someone is dolled up to the hilt and have there bits all hanging out then I generally assume they have no personality and are vein.
If people have went out of their way to look "emo" then I assume they are self-centred and think the world owes them something.
Basically if someone fits into a fashion trend or type then I always think they are lacking something because I simply don't understand why you wouldn't just always wear what is most suitable for the situation.
As of yet I have not been proven wrong.

Answer 4

People judge the way people look when they are unsure of themself, many would look at a gay person and if their gay themself be fine with it, however if theres a possibility theyy think their gay, then they'd be uneasy around a gay person.
And if people look different to them, theyddd probably just not go out of their way to be friends with them.
I can accept people when i have no one else, if they are just put upon me, ill talk to them sure. And then usually find out they have a great personallity.
But if i have better things to do. Then id go and do it :)

Answer 5

Oh I just accept that we're all different and thats the way it goes and nobody should have to live up to others expectations. Some people just don't realise how boring the world would be if we were all the same.

Answer 6

I think we READ a lot about people , their appearance, their body language, without giving it a second though, its part of our way of judging who is who. More often then not, we are actually right !

Answer 7

I judge myself more harshly than I judge anyone else

Answer 8

I do not judge but I can choose with whom I want to associate.

Answer 9

i don't judge people by the way they look, it's what's on the inside that counts!

Answer 10

I'm pretty open minded - I never judge until I know someone.

I wish people would do that to me but they dont -(
