We are judging machines, as soon as an adjective comes out of your brain and places itself on top of a thing or a living being, you, my friend, have already emitted a judgement about it, without any malice or unintentionally, but you did, and that's our nature; however, when it comes to people's character and who they might be, you have no right whatsoever to try and guess who or how they without really knowing them, seeing things as they are, it's very possible, they themselves don't know it either.
I've had people place trial after trial on me, based on nothing but the way I look, yes, I like to eat, thank you very much, the way I walk, the way I talk, the way I don't particularly talk, based on a phrase I said (posted by someone else on facebook), anyway, in an endless parade of actions, that each alone does not define who I am, and all put together, don't finish to summarize the person in me. So, if someone says anything about you, unless that person is either an extremely good friend, a very admirable someone, your parents(which can be wrong), or yourself; don't hesitate on discarding whatever it is.
We have to live and interact with people, it's human nature, but the way the world affects you, it's something you on your own decide, how far people go and how far you go with them, is something entirely on you. The way you grow up definitely has something to do with how you turn out, but most of all it's a result of what you take from everything you live through; from the people, environments and attitudes.
Everyone is unique, but that doesn't mean we are alone, individuality is not the same as loneliness; pulling out of the world and feeling "alone and miserable" doesn't make you cool. Sadness is a beautiful emotion, it helps us appreciate happiness more even if so slightly, but it isn't the one to abide for. We are free to choose whether to build happiness and experience out of our lifes or to just curl up under a blanket and weep until someone braver than us comes and save us.
The way people see you doesn't define you, the way you see yourself doesn't either. You can either be who they say you are, who you think you are or who you want to be; it's upon yourself.
It's hard, yes, but then again, if it were easy, what kind of fun would or learning would there be? ;)
