Open Mind = Open Heart?
We can look around every day and see people who are different from us. Some differences are expected, some are subtle and some are obvious. When you encounter someone who is different than you, i.e. they dress differently, speak differently believe in things that are different than what you believe, how do you treat them? Do you embrace the differences or do you tend to separate yourself because of them? Think about the friends you hang with now; are they very different from you or more the same? What, if any, are some differences that you simply cannot tolerate in a friend, acquaintance etc? Be honest.

i think i tend to do both talk to them and get to kno them and sometimes i just dont talk to them and leave it be the way it is. but i dont discriminate aganst people and if i do then im aware that i treat people different because of the way they act. but some of my friends are like me then others of them are totally different from me like my friend mary she quit,shy,and she is afraid to say the truth if it might hurt someone in the process.but im a well rounded person i think cause im irish.black,p.r,and iltalian so i grew up around alot of different tipes of people and i love all of them because there my family no matter what they are.they could be purple if isnt contacious ill be your friend i have friends that are a little bit geeky but im not afraid to be seen with them or anything like that.i think if your saying your there friend but when other people come around you act funny then your not really a good friend. but thats the way i see that situation.if im your friend im ganna be your friend.
Whenever I meet someone new,I tend to come with an open heart and an open mind.If they are from a different country,I try to find and learn anything and everything about their culture.I embrace their differences because everyone is unique and I understand that.I wouldn't want anyone to change theirselves because it denotes who they really are.My friends are different from me,yet we share some similar things.One would be that we're all funny but a difference would be that we all believe in different religions.
WELL I THINK THAT I WOULD COME WITH AN OPEN HEART AND MIND.. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE OR WHAT YOU WEAR OR EVEN IF YOU TALK DIFFERENT. I CARE IF WE COULD BE COOL FRIENDS. SOMETIMES I DO FEEL THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE WEIRD OR TRY TO BE SOMEONE THEY'RE NOT..THE FRIENDS THAT I HANG OUT WITH ARE LIKE ME, BUT SOME OF THEM ARE DIFFERENT THAN ME AND THE OPPOSITE OF ME. I EMBRACE HOW DIFFERENT THEY ARE BECAUSE IT COULD MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON AND THEY COULD JUST BE FUN. I CANNOT TOLERATE WHEN A FRIEND IS FAKE AND IGNORANT. THEY MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK UGLY EVEN IF THEY ARE THE PRETTIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD.
I keep an open mind; I attempt to get to know a person first before I judge them. This doesn't mean that I sometimes make the mistake of being led by first impressions, but I feel that it doesn't really matter how you dress, talk, or look like. It matters who you are...
My friends and I are alot alike. We have some differences but nothing that seperates us too much. I think that this is what makes us such good of friends. When we see something different, we either embrace it because we think it is cool or confine ourselves away from it because we think that it is not. Sometimes I think we confine ourselves away from something different because we don't understand it. You should not judge people by first impressions, although it is very easy to do. Some people like to take risks to make statements and not everyone understands where that person is coming from or what they are trying to express. I think that it is best to keep an open mind and let people explain themselves. You should understand the situation before you make a judgement.
As I take a look at all my friends i have a whole variety of people as friend. From different cultures, different music, different styles, and talk different(or slang). I feel that everyone is different in there own ways. I dont look at people and judge them because it always matters in the inside. Thats the only thing that counts to me. I feel that the way you treat others will give back to you meaning that other will respect you if you respect them. Sometimes when i meet someone i could feel a bad vibe but i mostly dont when i meet someone new. I dont care that people dont like who i hang out with because its not like theyre hanging out with them too. People get so jealous. Once you hate someone theres obvisously something your jealous about them. So I guess you could say that i open up to anyone, no looks. Anyone who i have things in common with.
I have a friend that is in that way. He believes in something different, but is a friend that i new from a long time ago, so now i judge him because i know him but not in a bad way. I dont usually judge nor do i at atleast right at the begining, but its a common fact that everyone judges everyone wether they like it or not in their own way. My friends that are different,or the same i treat them they way they treat me, in other words i give the same respect that they give to me. But for that religion, and stuff, I try to ignore that and be my self and also try not to say what affends them because of their religion.

I don't always judge people by the way they dress or the way they act. the way the choose to be is completely up too them and it's not my place too judge. my friends and i are mostly the same, we all like too have fun doing the same things. if we do disagree on something and do have differences we don't let that stop us from hanging out. thiers only a certain few that i call my "best friends", but we all hang out with other groups of people, but when we're with the different groups we always stick together. even if the one person doesn't really agree with the things the other people are doing. just because someone does something differnently then you, and dresses differently then you doesn't mean that you should talk about that, or judge them, you should get too know them they could end up one of your really good friends.
We live in America. There are people that are different all around us. I treat everyone the same way as I would like people to treat me. I am nice to them unless they are a complete jerk to me. Looks and other differences do not matter to me, all that is what is inside. I have friends of all kinds. Almost all my friends are different than me. They look different, they are of different races, they act different, and they believe different things. Yea they have something in common with me and that is that how we treat people, even if we dont know them. We just smile at them and respect them. I tend to embrace differences. That is what makes peoples personalities, and I love people that act different from everyone else, because I know that they aren't fake at all.
i din't judge people by there race, color, or things that they belive in. some people might judge us for the things we do but i still won't judge them. i try to get along with them sometimes it works sometimes it dose not. i don;t really care if someone is diffrent than me. i will try to treat them like i treat my friends and family. you can't judge a book by it's cover and you can't judge a person by the way they dress, talk, do things, or there reliougs ways cause it would not be a nice thing to do.
I hang with a wide variety of people and since I tend to lack a religion or general social group to belong to, I find it quite easy to speak to any group or stereotype of a group. I figure my lack of set in stone beliefs lets me be very open minded to people, if I want to. If I don't like someone or they send off bad vibes to me I will tend to shut them out but that's just because if I don't like someone I tend to want them to go away. Normally when I meet someone new that is very different from me I tend to really embrace their differences and ask all the questions I can think so I can learn more about them.
No I don't seperate myself from them. So, what if they may have an accent or speak a different language. Everyone is special in their own way. That's what makes them unique. I think that it's good to make friends with different
cultures because you can learn alot from them.
No I really dont seperate them from my life. My bestfriend and I are somewhat the same ,we have differnt tastes in boy,clothes and stuff like that. But Iam pretty much an happy pesron. If someone has something different or dont dress like me.But if i like something I will say I like it.Bu then again there are some people how are loud i really dont like that.And then there is the ones that think they betta then everybody i rather they stay away from me.But iam not judgementle.
These are all good responses, but most of you have missed the essential part of the question...what differences would you absolutely NOT tolerate in a friend.
I'm totaly opened minded towards people. I love meeting people, watching people, or hanging out with the people I know. I dont care what you are, as long as you respect me and my friends, I'll be your friend. The only thing i dont like in a friend, is if their not open like me, or talk about people behind their back. I hate it when some of my girlfriend start to talk about a girl or boy, and how stupid they look or what not. Normally when that happens, I throw a random joke out there, and totaly make them forget what they were saying. But after a while, and it keeps happening, I'll totaly be like "Listen, if you dont stop doing this, then I'm going to stop talking to you..." or what not.
So I guess that means im open hearted and openminded
ME REALY DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY IT COVER ALL IT TAKES TO BE COOL WITH ME IS A GOOD ATTUIDE AND SOMEONE THAT GIVES A CARE TO SAY WHAT UP TO ME. IT REALY DOES NOT TAKE MUCH FOR ME TO MAKE FRIENDS BESAUSE I WILL GO AND TYY TO BE COOL WITH THE MOST STRANGES KID IN THE SCHOOL AND WOULD NOT CARE WHAT ANY ONE THINKS FEEL ME.I MEAN THE PEOPLE I AM COOL WITH THEY ARE MY FRIENDS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GOOD HEAD ONE THEIR SHOLDER AND THEY COOL LOL. TO CONCLUDE ALL OF THIS I DONT NOT FOR A SECOND JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! =]
When it comes to other people's differences I simply don't care. I have lots of friends who are competly different than me and I have lots of friends who I'm extemly similar to. Everyone in this world is different not two people are the same and I LOVE THAT. I'm the type of person who looks more in the inside, Personality wise. Doesn't matter the clothes, the looks, the speak as long as the person is sincere. The only thing that I can't tolerate in a friend or acquaintance is a personwho is a trader, lier, and fake. That's the type of person I am.
I believe I am a very welcoming person. If you and I chat, or greet each other and that stuff, than I believe you're cool in my book. The thing is I don't have many friends, just a very few. Most of the people I talk to or hang out sometimes are just "acquaintances". These people will not be there for you in the future, yes I joke with them and hang around them and all that stuff, but the truth is they're not my friend. They may not be enemy and such, but I do accept them as person who is friendly, but not totally trustful. The friends I have, have been there for me and I knew a long time to have a trust with. Some of them are in a different race than I am, it's not the fact that they're white, black (African American), or Hispanic it's all about their personalities. The thing is my friends and I share with each other IS our personalities. We joke, play sports, and hang around each other and all that fun stuff. I don't really look at skin color, or what other people they hang around with get to me at all. I usually accept that and actually respect what they do. But one difference that I would not tolerate with one of my friends is just bullying. In my opinion, bullying is sad and pathetic and I am totally against it. Peace!
Well to answer this question honestly.....A few years ago I only hung out with people who were in the "IN CROWD!" Only the people who were popular hanged out together and only the less popular hung out! Well now that I grew up and kind of realized that it was DUMB... I dont "really" do it anymore. I wont say i completly droped my old ways of hanging out with certain individuals because now I hang out with select people. Example: Outspoken people...
That is one charcteristic that draws me so much closer to a person. Someone who can say what they feel because they feel that way! I normally stay away from "LIARS". Our friendships seem not to last very long because of trust issuses! Other than that.. I hang out with everybody and their mom..lol!!!
i dont mind differences i kind of embrace them. i think its great when some one is comfortable enough with themselves to take a step outside the box. most of my close friends are exactly like me but my aquaintences are all over the place. some dress in all black some are all about the nose in the books some are big partiers but i love them all. i like the change different personalities throughout the day makes things alot more interesting. the only thing i cannot stand is a liar. but other than that differences are embraced by me.
you have to embrace the differences...becuase no one is the same and you gotta learn to take the good with the bad just because somebody likes to approach things a different way or has different perspectives doenst mean you can lable them because who are you to say what somebody social status is...i meet everyone with an open heart and expect the same in return...im not saying you have to like everyone but you have to give them a chance first no matter how different they appear...
well i give an oppurtunity to be my friend,and i rarely discriminate,yet i have before.like i have friends of a different race and religion.their belifs mite be different but i embrace them and i dont take any mind to it,just as they do for me.only if i got to the point where they disrespect me due to whatever circumstance than i refuse to be friends.and my friends i have a wide variety of ethniticites of friends.some friends are the same,and they are my closest friends.and others im friends with,but they arent the ones im with all the time.the only thing i cant tolerate is disrespect and it would nothing to do with race or religion
Well , when I my self encounter someone who differs from my beliefs/likes/etc. I tend to embrace this fact , I hate hanging around people who're all the same . In general , my friends are all alike , yes , because if people are extremely different , they don't tend to get along as well as people who share the same likes/beliefs . My friends and I all have things in common , yes , but each of us bring individuallity to our group we're with every weekend . As I said before , too many similarities is just plain out boring . SOme differences in friends I just can't tolerate are small and stupid , but they erk me to no end . If someone seeks attention to no end , and embarasses us to get eyes on them , i can't take it . If they listen to bad music , yeah i hate that . haha . And I plain out hate when my friends lie , because I lose a level of repect for them when this occurs .
Im the kind of person that you would say "has a big heart." Theres no reason to ever just not like someone because they dress different then you or like different believes. Even though they might dress in all black or they dont believe in god it doesn't matter. I like getting to know different people becuase you may learn new and different things or make a new friend. If i were to meet someone who was way different then me i would think that that's awesome because meeting someone way different then you the adventures get interesting. The different people are the more i embrace them. When theres something that i cannot tolerate with my friends i tend not to talk about it with them, because i'm a very "go with the flow" kinda gale and i dont think that its nessisary to ever really have an argument, its not worth the trouble, or even lossing a friend. As of people speaking different then me i tend to just not really talk to them not to be rude, but just becaouse there would be no way that we would be able to understand eachother if we only know one laungage. So, yes i am very open hearted.
I feel lucky now because I'm an exchange student, so I'm meeting different people all the time. I'm the kind of person that doesn't care about the differences in customs, clothing or beliefs. In Brazil I have alot of friends and of course they're all different, but I just hang out with those friends who like to do the same things as I do. I love meeting new people. I think the differences are interesting and that's one of the reasons why I'm here. If there's something that I cannot tolerate in a friend it is dishonesty ( especially fakes and liars).
Most of the time i will give every body a chance. I have many diffrent types of friends. I im frends with the "cool kids" and the "uncool kids". I usually go off my first impression of the person and then i will go from there.
I'm a very open person. I will talk to just about anyone. I don't care about any differences that person may have, that just gives them more to offer in the friendship. My friends are a very large variety of people and are all very different from one another, but that makes no difference to me. The only thing i cant tolerate is dishonest people. I want the truth and nothing less out of people.
When i see somebody who is differnt than me and dresses differntly from me i do not really care. Because i feel if they are differnt by religion, or speek differnt or dont dress like you do it might be a good thing. Because you can then learn form them and learn new things like a languge or religion. I would not seperate myself because i think that is stupid, just because they are differnt than you doesnt mean that you should not like them and stay away from them. I have differnt kinds of friends a few are kind of the same like me and some are differnt but they are all cool to hang out with and talk to. I can not tolerate when somebody thinks that they are better an everybody, really ignorane, like they never ask or say thankyou or something, plus i dont like when somebody is always starting stuff with other people and are really judgemental.

Welll to start off with Im very open minded. When I see or meet someone different I am curious...not judgement tho. If the person speaks a different language I ask a question or two about where they are from. Not to be nosy or rude but to make them feel that we can relate.. Like maybe if they are a new student.I also try to embrace and learn from other people's ways of life.
My friends and I share a lot of things on common. But ofcourse there are many differences becasue no one human being is the same. So I cant honestly say that these subtle differences have any consequences. One thing I cant tolerate in a friend Is when they talk bad about others to make them selves feel better that annoys me more than anything. But I get over.

I always try to be open with new and different people. If you shut out new people you'll never be able to expirience different things and grow as a person. I think everyone has the right to believe in whatever they want so I would never judge them on that aspect. I would never want anyone to judge me on my bliefs so I would never judge someone else. The way they talk goes the same way. I don't know where they come from or how they grew up so the way they talk may have nothing to do with their personality. The friends I spend time with now are more similar to me than different. We differ in some ways but in most cases we are similar. I couldn't take a friend of mine being a liar or sneaky. I need to be able to trust them. In an acquaintance I tolerate a lot more bad qualites being that I don't spend much time with them. Unless an aquaintance is rude to me or someone else I'll be just fine with them.
Honestly, I can say that i do not separate myself from people because of differences. I do, however, tend to judge some people before I meet them. For example, in drama, there are several different types of people who audition for a play. There are quiet, shy people, loud obnoxious people, annoying, fat, skinny, ugly, attractive, boastful and I could go on and on describing the people that are in drama. I am proud of myself for not separating myself from what a person may look like, however, I sometimes find myself judging some people. People automatically judge me and it's annoying. For example if I see a girl with heavy make up, dark heavy eyeliner and spikes on their wrists, spikey black dyed hair, and never smile around me, I would judge them as being a "goth" person, or someone who most likely did not like anything but to do drugs all day. I have no clue as to why I constantly judge people because I hate when people judge me. Example, in the 8th grade, people used to try to say i was a ho. And what does a ho do? A ho has sex, and messes around with several boys. Just because boys found me attractive, girls would automatically judge me because I hung around boys and triend to call me a ho. Also, as a person recently said to me at work, they said, "Amber, what did you get on your report card? c's?? I felt very upset and replied "no, i recieved straight A's." She was very surprised that I had said that and MANY MANY people think im dumb, or not as educated. I know I'm not stupid so, they need to relax. I asked her why she said that, and guess what she repiled... because your so beautiful. That was a compliment, but it was not funny. Also, for me to think of her commenting me, I felt bed. Why does the pretty girl have to be dumb? They also say yep. Amber thinks she's better than "so and so" when they don't know what the hell I'm thinking. They do not know anything about whether I think I'm better than anyone, that's not cute. My firends and I are very similiar, however we are not always swayed by other people's opinions, we maen what we say and say what we mean. One of my bestfirends is a white girl, however, she doesn't always act like a white girl. I am also friends with peolple different than me becuase I hate it when people judge me =( I do refuse to be around fake people though. Fake people are the ones who are with you one second, and turn around and talk about you. I absolutely refuse to associate with people like that. If you don't like me that dont say nothin to me, simple as that.

I do believe people judge people on how the act and I’m not going to lie I do also. However, unlike most people I don’t care as much. As I’m sitting here typing thinking about the question I started to think about my friends. I have a large variety of friends. Most of them are like me preppy most would label it as. However I don’t believe we are as preppy as others. Than I have sporty, dramatic, artsy, and punk friends. There are some people out there that won’t be friends with certain races of people. I believe that’s wrong. I think if person is nice it shouldn’t matter. One of my best friends is black and we hang out all the time. I don’t care she’s black and I’m white. Some of my friends do stuff that I won’t do (ex. smoke) that doesn’t mean I’m just going to drop them. There are certain limits I do have though. Like I won’t be friends with someone who tries to get my friends and I into fights if the person is nothing but trouble I couldn’t be there friends either. Other than that really I like almost anyone else.

Honestly i can say that i don't seperate myself from people because of there differences i can say that i now associate myself with everyone. However,some people tend to pre-judge people and judge them before even meeting them. For example, before i once did before without realizing it. I had caught myself Staring and feeling unconfertable aroud someone that i didn't even know, just because of the way they looked not because i was scared because i wasn't but because they way that they looked. with the spiky hair,makeup,chains. but as the years has gone on im proud of not seperating myself from them because honestly i don't know why i do it and its not something nice or polite for some one to do. For Example, People use to think that i was a bully because i had an bad attitude and i use to always get in trouble of into fights. but if those eople actually sat around me and talk to me they would know that im nothing like that and that i am a nice person. its just that some people take my kindness for weakness sometimes beacuse they know how nice of a person i am and they just constanly and constaly push my buttons until i go off then they say im a bully. which i am really not. one of my good friends are chinese. we don't have that much in commom but we are the best of riends and i do not judge her at all. however i did when i first meet her and she asked for my number i thought "man how are we going to hang out or talk on the phone if she doesn't under stand english that much" but i realized that its not good 2 judge a book bye it cover. Its ok if noone can take me as i am. because of what they heard or think about me then they can't have nothing else or less of me at all.
When I see people that are different than me, I wouldnt say that I seperate myself, but they're not on the top of my list of EXTREMELY CLOSE FRIENDS. I like to be friendly with every race, religious background, style of clothing...it's just how you are as a person. My friends are all so different, it's ridiculous. I have my band friends, black friends, white friends, spanish friends, skater friends, emo friends. And whats even cooler is that I'm excepted by them even if I may not be the same as them. But to be REALLY honest, the only type of people that I say I do seperate myself from are people that have B.O. Not trying to be funny, I just dont hang around people like that. Most of the time, its not even their fault, but other times IT IS. I'm sure that alotta people would agree that they do treat those people the same way. I wouldnt be ignorant to them and say "You stink. Get away from me." I nicely stay away without hurting any feelings. But the one thing I definitely WILL NOT tolerate are fake people. It's unacceptable. I'm not fake, none of my friends are fake. I know to keep my distance from them and watch what I say around them because they are out there. Point blank.

In life I think one of the most exciting things is learning about a person, where they come from, what they like, what they believe. I believe that if a person shows you who they really are then you should believe them. Knowledge is a valuable thing and if you as an individual take the time out of your life to get to know and become close to an already friend or maybe a complete stranger you will never limit you knowledge and that person will most likely gain an unbelieveable amount of trust in you. As for my friends I find them to be completley different from myself some are more wild and spontaneous than I am, some are more layed back, and others are always open to learning and exploring new things. What a person looks like on the outside may sometimes alter your way of thinking about them but I think maybe if you give them a chance they will teach you something about life, and isn't life about learning new things? More importantly I despise people who are fake and most people may agree you are who you are for a reason and most will love your true self more then the act you may put on possibly in front of your friends or just anyone in general.
well alot of my friends are different in religion and culture. there backrounds are different but it dosent really get in the way of our friendship. mostly we just forget about it and dont bring it up. All of us can tolerate eachother and it dosent really cause any problems in our lives. There really are not that many things i cant tolerate in a person except for being a saitanist which is just freaky to me, and its always good to explore those kind of things like different cultures and religeons it gives u a chance to learn and relate to different types of people.
Me, I am one to get out there and experience all the different beliefs, cultures, styles, or anything people do to express themselves. I hold nothing against somebody because they like rap music or dress differently. However..I still believe in the traditional notion that men should not dress like women and dress like men. I have nothing against it, I just don't like watching guys shading their eyes and dressing in tight pants. This might seem harsh, but it's just my opinion. I mean, if the person is gay, that's one thing, but these days I guess it's cool to do that. Oh yeah..and one more thing that grinds my gears is people that complain about how much life sucks. If they don't want life to suck, they got to get out there and make it not suck! Alright, I'm getting a little out of hand. It might be because I'm listening to Metallica right now..who knows..alright peace out Bunje:)
everyone has their likes and dislikes about people. however you shouldnt judge people by their bad traits. personally i dont have a problem with people's differences. i can be good friends wth the cheerleading squad and the reject goths. both groups though i like equally. however if i think this person makes bad choices i might not choice to hang out with them because that is their buisness. i will talk or accept anyone. but i cant say that i talk badly about some. mostly i hate people who try to be fake or not themslefs because they're different. i accept people for themselves and i think it is a good quality to have but people who want to be the same as everyone else really bothers me.
some things i cant toleratefrom a freind is when they talk to much or when they play to much! these things are the differences that isimply cannot tolerate in a friend, acquaintance etc!
I am friends with everyone, no matter what type of music they like or what they look like. one of my best friends is the the complete opposite of me. And i still talk to them, everyone is human and have feelings so i think they shouldnt be hurt. I try to be friends with everyone i can because i can always learn new things from them.
I think most of the time I would treat everybody the same no matter how they dressed or what they believe in. If someone came up to me and said they were Jewish I don’t think that would change how I treat them. Most of my friends are the same as me, but there are a few of my friends that are completely different from me. One thing that I can absolutely not stand in a friend is a liar because I think a friend that lies is not a real friend and another I cannot stand in a friend is a person who is obnoxious.
I think that i tend to more embrace their difference if they let me do so. Like i'll try to get along with them and then they just keep on like getting angry , then it seems as if they are the one that doesn't want to be my friend... so like no matter how weird the person is, i don't really care. it all depends on them if they don't want to be friends with me... i try to become friends but they don't let that happen. All of the friends that i hang out with are in some ways different from me.... like one of my friends is jewish and i have no problem with that and like another friend is like addicted to anime. Generally i don't care what kind of person they are i try to be friends with them and if they don't want to, i'll just stop trying because my efforts will all go in vain.
I wouldn't treat someone different, because they are not the same. My best friend is columbian, and he speaks spanish, at his house. I don't treat him any different from anyone else, actually he is more like a brother to me. Just because he speaks spanish doesn't mean i should treat him any different, what i really think is i could eventually learn spanish from him. He may act different, hang out with different people, and like different things, but when it comes donwn to it he is still my brother. People may see him in a different way and might say "look at that weird person over there," but to me his is my best friend, and their is no reason to treat someone in general different.
it depends what kind of person they are for example what if their mean to everyone execpt for his or her friends like when you try to be nice to them and they just always say get away for me or give you dirty looks thats why i say it depends and my friends all are a little like me except for our skin color but thats it
To be honest I would have to say that alot of my friends are some what the same and we have alot in common. But that doesn't mean that I don't talk to people that are not the same like me, isn't that what makes someone open minded. But lets just say I was friends with someone that did something really bad I wouldn't talk to them anymore. Reason being I would not want to associate my self with someone who is doing something wrong so that way my reputation is ruined. There are some things that I cannot tolerate and that is when someone just acts dumb to get attention to themselves. To me that is just lame,if someone has to act dumb to get attention. I also cannot tolerate when someone has to copy either what I do or dress like to me I would rather them find their own identity. Rather then copy off of mine. I NEVER treat people differently because of how the speak or if they have a problem I treat everyone equally at first until i know other wise. Then if they do something that would make me think of them differently then I will. Just like if someone lied to me I would kind of take a double glimpse of them because that they lied so how could I trust them again. More importantly I treat everyone equally and I think thats how the world should be today.
look at it like this i mean just because someone is different doesn't mean that you push them away or even try to ignore that person.You know what that shows me that when somebody is different and you ignore them or anything like that that just proves that you are scared of change you cant judge a book that you never read and who the hell are you to judge anybody.Only he shall judge not you as the people to point is one thing but to discriminate or exclude others because they are not like you or your friends.no one likes haters but it always seems okay when you want to judge someone else.But that's just my prospective i mean you have to treat people as equals.I was almost non existant due to complications at birth so everyday above ground is a good day.so everything and everyone around you is luck.look at it like that.Luck that your alive,luck that your breathing,luck that you can even walk and talk to other people.it is because we as people take life for granted but the truth is that this is all in the blink of an eye so my advice to you is make as much friends as possible that's just more people on the same team.we are all different ain't nobody the same so where the hell does anybody get off calling somebody different.
to me it all depends on how much different they are from me.I have lots of differnt friends and all of them are very different from each other and some are very alike.when i meet a person i usually look at there appearance first but i do not judge them into they start talking and showing there personality. I can be a very nice person but if i dont like a person's personality or just dont like the person that they are i wont interact with them at all. but if i get along with them i will tend to conversate with them mabe even become very good friends.It would not bother me what they like or what they believe in (except believing in the devil)personally i think it is good to have different kinds of friends so that people wont be very close minded. i love all my friends each one has something that someone else dont got. people that i meet that are very ignorant and mean and that i try to be nice to and treat me bad are people that had already judged me and are not very open minded. and when one day they try to talk to me or ask me for a favor i will make them remember how they cut me off and make them apologize then mabe we could start over and start being freindly and nice to each other but if they dont apologize then ima be real ignorant and cut them off!

When it comes to meeting new people i really do not judge them because i wouldn't want to be judge because of the way i look. If a person doesn't look nice i sometimes look at them funny but i dn't judge them at all i try to see there personalaty and how they act. All my friends are different though but then were all the same in a kinda way meaning we do or react to somethings in bad or good ways. I'll only treat someone wrong if they treat me wrong or talk about me. I do admitt i used to do it but i learned that it hurts there feelings and can give them low self esteem. I can also admitt that sometimes i can not stand things that people do that believe or dress or look different then me just because of the way they look cause to me that gives me a picture that they are weird and that sometimes freaks me out. It may seem very harsh but i have and are trying not to judge a person because of the way they look just like the quote says "never judge a book by his cover" and thats so true. Some things i probably won't tolerate in a friend is probably not having trust because without trust you can't have nothing. I just think that me and my friends can trust each other no matter what and thats why i love them so much. I feel that if your gonna be my friend then you have to be like a family member who cares and love me just like I'll love you!!!
In all my friends there are variety of people such as ideas, backgrounds, belives, and likes or dislikes. I tend to love hanging out with my friends because as the days go by i tend to get to know them better and see that their not the same as me. I like hanging with people that are different from each other because thats how you know their being themselves and not copying from someone else. For example, my friend whom should remain nameless tends to always tell what she feel or thinks about a person. Im not saying thats a bad thing but the way she does it is very problematic. I keep telling her that theres other ways to comfront a person such as good manners and lower voice. Not screaming or calling names. But even thought she's like that I still love her to death because that's my girl and just because i hang out with her doesn't mean ima act like her. There is no need what so ever to push a person away because she/he dresses differently or thinks differently than you. I believe that everyone is equal in their own little way they just seem to like different things. Their just trying to be their own unique self.
Well, in my opinion meeting different people is actually exciting and intesting. You can learn alot from them, and see other point of views. My best friend is very different and has her own sense of style. Now, i like some of the same things she does. I have all types of friends, some like me, and some completely different. Honestly though, i can't stand when i meet people that are extrememly stuck up, and think that they're better then everyone, or when they lie alot. I absolutely can't stand that.
I think that I am a open minded person and don’t really like to judge people until I get to know them. My friends are also a lot different then me. I don’t think I would ever want to be good friends with someone who is just like me. I like to talk to people who are the opposite of me because I can learn from them rather then relate to them. I like learning new things from people and I think it helps me even become a better person because it lets me see things through other people preseptives. When I see someone who doesn’t dress the way I do or speak I don’t tend to talk to them because I don’t know what kind of person they are. Once I hear things about them I think that maybe I should start talking to them because I think everyone deserves a chance. I try to imbrace their differences and try to learn from them. Some difference that I simply cant tolerate in a friend is someone who likes to bring someone else down just to make themselves feel good. I cant stand people who are like that.
when i see someone different then me i automatically think of the type of person they are and how they act.. when really i'll never know unless i get to know them. i treat them just as if i would treat my own friends. My belief is that once you get to know someone different than you.. you seem to find so many similariaties that you would never expect to have in common with that person.The person that you'd expect to be your worst enemy could actually be your best friend. The differences about someone are so interesting to me. it makes a friendship interesting.. because if everyone was the same than life would get pretty boring. The friends i hang with now i would say are more the same but we have enough differences to keep are friendships crazy. I can not stand when a friend is rude. like if i have a friend over and they arent polite to my parents than it makes me so mad. i also cant stand when someone acts like they come from the best family and they are on a high horse. like when someone constantly brings up what they have and what they want. like we have this kind of car and just went out and spent x amount on a new whatever. i think that weather you make more money or less than friends it doesnt mean anything. what matters the most is trust and how muchh fun you have together.

When I meet new people I usually tend to treat everyone the same because, for one, I don't know them that well. Why would i treat someone any differnet then someone else I don't know? Mostly, I don't really care how someone looks when I first meet them, but if they act like a jerk to me, then I will probably try to avoid that person. I think personality shows a lot more of a person rather then how they look.
I have a few good friends that are all sort of similar in a way, but there are a lot of people that I know that are entirely different from me.Even though most of my good friends are similar, we all have something unique about us. I guess thats why i like to hang around with them. We are sort of the same, but different too. That doesn't sound like it makes sense but thats how i feel about my friends and I. The main thing that I dislike about people is if they are jerks or they lie all of the time. For some reason that makes me not want to be around them.
Just because people are different that don't mean that i would treat them different. Everybody in the world is different.Whether they dress the same or speak the same language they are still different.The friends i hang out with now is more of the same. If there were some differences that i could not tolerate in a friend i would talk to them first and if that dont work out we probably wont be friends.
I have alot of frineds that are different from me. Being different is what makes someone unique, it would be boring if all your friends were exactly alike. in my opinion you have to meet different people to have fun, and if you treated different people differently, then you probably wont have as much fun in life as you could be. There is one characteristic that i hate in friends, its not caring. Its hard to get along with someone that doesnt care all that much about the relationship you two have, and leave it up to you to keep the realationship going. If your going to have a friend, you both have to have a friendship, or else it wont work out.
Whenever I might meet someone new I tend to be more open and try not to be judgmental. Usually I won't be the one to approach someone new but I will keep my eyes open and see how he or she act around other people to see what kind of person they are. It's kind of like the first day of school when u walk into a new classroom full of new people. In my case for the fist week or two of school I jus sit back and see how they are in class just to get a first impression. Then based on that first impression the next chance I get I would probly start talking to them and see how it goes from there. The only thing that I would not tolerate in a friend is the discrimination that some people have against certain ethnicities or “clicks”. I have and have had many different friends from all ethnic backgrounds and all different clicks. There’s that and just like everyone else that did this blogg I definitely won’t except a friend who is dishonest or fake.
I try to not treat any person any different from any one else,and be as open minded as possible. Even though they might dress differenty or talk different from me there still just people. I try to give every person a chance for things like earn my trust,because I think everyone should have that chance. And I really try to embrace all peoples differences.To me some times differences between people are better. The world would be so boring if no one had any differences. That saying opposites attract is true to me. If no one had any differences there wouldn't be any love. I would no want to hang with any person that is exactly the same as me and proably no one else would either. All of my friends have similar interests but were still all different. There are only one thing in a friend that I could not tolerate.The first and most important of all is trustwortyness. If I can't trust a person than we can't be friends.
I come encounter with different people everyday either in school or outside of school. Although they may be different I still treat all people the same. Besides I like people who are different or “not normal.” Most of my friends are polar opposites of me and most people find it hard to believe that we are even friends but I like that. It defies the odds of what people may think of me. That’s one of the many reasons why I want to pursue a job in the medical field, because there are so many different people I will constantly come in contact with. I find that very interesting. The only way I will distant myself from a person is if they are mean to anyone for no apparent reason. I don’t find that mean people can benefit anyone there for I try to distant myself from all bullies and mean people.
i have a variety of friends. The friends that i have had for life are basically like me. These are The guys that i have played soccer with since i was about four years old. These guys would be kenny, gary, nick, and peter. The friends that i am starting to make now aren't exactly like me but we have some of the same interests. This would be Jim. Above all i like honesty, if u cant be honest with me i cant be ur friend. I dont try and push people away from me who dont sare the same interests as me but i find that it is harder to hang out with that person.
At first I would push poeple away if they were different when I was younger,but as I have grown or u can say as I hit high school I began to learn how to except people for who they are.I look at everybody different and see that each person difference makes them a special individual .One of my best friend right now is very different from me I meet her my freshmen year.At first when I meet her I didnt like her at all because she was the total opposite from me you can say she had different perfrences or whatever.As basketball season went on and I put down my gate of excepting people who were different from me we became cool and I saw that we were quite the same in a way. So it is easy for me now as Ive grown up to except people for who they are not what they like,believe etc...
NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!!!
All people are diffrent. That's what makes our world so diverse. We dress diffrently, talk diffrently, and even listen to diffrent music. Our looks and actions don't resemble anyone elses, that's what makes us so unique. When i meet new people, i try to get to know them and except their diffrences. I have this one friend who is the complete opposite of me. But she is my best friend. I like it that we're diffrent because it gives us more to talk about. If everyone was the same, everything would be dull.
Most of my friends are all the same like me, but we all come from different backgrounds and have different religions and styles of life but that doesn't make me stop being their friend. As long as your friendly with me, I will try and be friendly with you.
Every one is different in many ways. I encounter people that are just like me and then people that are the complete opposite of me eveyday. I dont treat anyone different because of the things they believe in or their looks etc. I treat people the way i would like to be treated. I do recognize that somtimes i judge people without knowing them. For example if i see a girl who walks around thinking that she's too cute and who looks like she has an attitude i will automatically not like her. But that is the only flaw i have when it comes to judging people. In most situations i embrace the differences people have. I dont ever seperate from someone because they are different. I think if people did that they would never learn new things because they would always be with someone that is just like them. The differences we all have is what makes our world so unique and full of life. If we were all the same our world would be dull and boring. My friends are a lot like me and i think thats why we get along so well. When you first meet someone they dont seem to be like you but along the road you come to see that you are very much a like. I dont discriminate against anyone but there a some characteristics in some people i simply cannot tolerate and those become the people i dont speak with. I cant tolerate fake people or people that are two faced. People who are like this only bring drama and problems in your life. I kno this because i've been through a lot of that drama. When you have friends that are fake and or two faced you dont ever have anyone to speak your mind with because then if you do speak your mind the next day everyone will know what you wanted to keep a secret. Theres people like this all around us. Sometimes its not very easy to tell if someone has these characteristics and thats why you have to be careful when you choose your friends. This year i already found out that some people i talk to have told others things i wanted to keep a secret and thats how i found out who i wanted to keep as friends. Since i just moved to Oakcrest this year i'm realy happy with the people I've met and with all of my new friends. I have a best friend who also moved to this school and we get along so well. She is the kind of person who i can tell things to and will keep it a secret. I feel that these are the kind of people everyone should be friends with. But what is the most important thing is that everyone should accept others even with differences.
I say I'm open minded because I'm always willing to try something new or listen to what others have to say. I always try to be honest with my friends, even if it means telling them something they don't want to hear. Everyone is different and has unique qualities that make them special. Differences can either be accepted or denied. I myself am different in the way I act around my friends and some people call me "weird" hah. I never let that get to me. In a situation where I meet someone new, I'll admit that I do prejudge people. I can be extremely judgemental and rude sometimes and I do try not to do that. It's something I need to work on. My friends are a variety of personalities. If I hung out with people who thought and acted the same as me all the time, I'd get bored. In relationships, I look for someone who is different. My boyfriend is awesome. A quote from the song "MakeDamnSure" by Taking Back Sunday can sum it up. "You are everything I want cause you are everything I'm not." Some qualities, however are things I cannot stand. People who lie or talk about their "friends" behind their backs really bug me. If I have something to say about someone, I'll just say it to their face because I'm like that. I can't tolerate it. Especially when the person talking about you is across the room. I'm not saying that I'm nice to everyone. I'm not. But if you know the real me, I'm pretty accepting most of the time.
When I see people that are different than me, I dont really act differently. I try not to judge people like that, or discriminate. I have a lot of different types of friends. There are the people that are like me and the people opposite of me, but share a common interest with. I dont act differently toward them, because we share an interest. It all comes down to what kind of person they are, not what they do or how they look.
I get along with all different types of people. I try not to look at the bad things about people, and i dont see any wierd things people can do because whos in charge of saying something is wierd anyway. when people say wierd i think they mean something they dont do even though thats not what wierd is. i think a person who does things different from others makes them unique sometimes. i like doing things different and trying to think outside the box and i think i do a good job at it too.
I have to admit I'm not the kind of person to just accept people for who they are an instant. I see people that are different from me and then from past experiences determine what they could be like and how they act. Most of the time my guesses are correct but there are times yet they are rare that I'm wrong and when then happens i try to see who they are. Although i try to see who they are, I don't throw myself into an indevour to unmask the truth of the person, try to make friends with them, or rash out at them to see how they react. If they want to be friends with me then I'll try to accept them but if they don't want to be or don't show any interest i could care less and just go about my life without any second thought. Many of my friends are similar to me but we all have different ways of running things. Even though we do things differently at times once one of us accepts someone the others usually do too as well since most of us aren't bad judges of characters or friends but there are exceptions to that. All in all im in neither in the white or black area of people that are different to me, im on my own side and way of doing things and if you're not then i could care less, sort of that gray area in between but not acutally inbetween just separate
when i meet someone who is different than me i do sometimes embrace their differences. i usually dont separate myself from someone just because they are different than me. the only reason i would separate myself from someone is that if it would be a harm to me to associate myself with that person. the friends i hang out with now are very simalar to me for the most part. we are all different in our own ways, but we all have alot of the same interests. i pretty much tolerate everyone. i do not really let much bother me and i dont let different traits bother me either. so i am not really sure what differences i cannot tolerate.
When i meet someone who is different than me i usually give them time to see what there like as a person because, its not right to just hate someone because they are different than you.
And most of my friends are like me in some ways. but some of my freinds are alot different.
there are some things that even my best friends do that i cant tolerate. my best friend dropped out and he really hasnt done much with his life except say he does do alot but the only things he does is stay at home and play video games and sleep. i cant stand it when my friends are self destructive and are to ignorant to realize it even after i tell them. and i tell them not sparing feelings.and also i cant stand smokers of anything. its not that there bad people its just that smoke from cigarettes annoy me. and there response is always the same when i ask them to quite or why they smoke "were all gonna die someday" that pisses me off
Well there are some people i just dont get along with, the kind of people that think they are better than everyone and are stuck up. Everyone has there own opinion when they first meet someone, but i dont judge people on the way they look or present themselves. everyone is different if everyone was the same this world would be boring. i talk to people that are different then me but i dont think i would hang out with them if we didnt have anything in common. The friends that i hang out with now are like me we have alot in common. i quess you could say i use to not talk to people that were gothic because i thought we wouldnt get along and have nothing in common. but last year i had a gothic friend and she was pretty cool i learned that she was alot like me and we got along really well. so now i dont judge anyone by the way they dress or anything. Everyone is different and its interesting to meet new people and learn from them
like Du said :Never Judge A Book By its Cover
when i "encounter" someone who appears or acts different then myself or any of my friends, i might not talk to them as much as i would someone who seems more normal to me. but dont get me wrong, i give that person the same amount of respect i would any other person. i wouldnt make fun of them, if anything i would try to understand why they set themselves apart from everyone else or who ever they are differing from. i cant say that all of my friends are the same because id be lying straight up. each and everyone of my friends are different in their own way. either by there race, religion, their style or even the types of things they like to do. we all have different opinions & view things in different ways. but we also do agree on somethings because if alls we ever did was argue i dont think we would be that good of friends. we all just like to express ourselves in different ways. some differences i cant stand is when people try to hard. like basically the people who will change who they are just to fit in. that makes me mad. like why do u have to be so fake, u cant just be yourself? i also cant stand people who say thyings just to get people to feel bad for them. like half the female population who jus say "im so fat" or "im so ugly" i cant stand that. they just say it so whoever is around will be like "ohh no your not" . i dont know, that just really bothers me. well thats about ok peace.
my friends and i are very alike but also very differnt but probably more alike. one thing that a can not tolerate in a friend is if they lie to em or to another friend i really cant stand lying. when i come across someone who is differnt then i am or people i am use to i dont judge them i either talk to them or dont talk to them at all. im not the kind of person to sit there and judge them because of the way the look or how they speak thats not my place to do that. i am curious though, like if a new student came and he dressed differently then most people i would talk to them and not make them feel uncompfortable or like no one likes him. another example would be like if some one didnt speak very good english or had an accent i would just ask them where their from
personally when i meet new people i try to get to know them for who they are and not for what they look like.. dont get my wrong im not alwys like that sometimes i judge people alittle to fast befor getting to know them for who they really are. i try not to but ya know it sometime happens. the friends i hang out with everyday are alot alike for the most part. they have the same interests and like to do the same things as me. but i have someother friends who arnt exacly the same but are just as good of friends to me as the friends who are more like me. in all i have some friends who are the same and some that are different than me but there all friends to me. i feel like its wrong to basically judge people by there covers. its great to get to know people for who they really are.
me and all my friends are the smae differnt in plaetty of way more athletic then eachother and have our tallents an looks the things i cant stand in people r that when someone trys to stand out and be cooler then the rest of the cround or they try to show off infront of new people that is so annoying to me and probaly all my friends the things me and all my friends have in common is that were all so close and that y never have to hide anything when juss come out with the things we wanna say beclause that makes things so much better if u lie to your friends is liek your lieing to your family becaluse u friends are sopused to be there for you and liek if lie to them your not really a good friend
I Dont judge people the way they look or talk i get to know the person. Then i can usally tell if i would make them my friend. I have alot of different friends because thats what kind of person i am. I White friends,indian friends,goth friends,black,skater the list goes on I admitt i have some friends that smell and are ugly i maybe sometimes i might treat them different but not harsh. If they stink i wont be all up on them. And i do treat my friends that are girls that pretty different then my friends that are girls that are ugly. I might flirt with the pretty ones and treat the ones that aren't that pretty like she is my homeboy. but there all my friends.
i honestly dont treat them any differently i ahve that meantality that they are different but i never act like it. If a person is different and i know it thaey arent going to know how i real think. i treat them how i treat the rest of the people i first meet its not that big of a deal im not a shy person so it is very easy for me. i can tolerate most people ecept the ones that are jerks and really bother me like the type of people that constantly lie and it is obvious that really bothers me thats about it i hope the cut opff for this is at 10 im going to real mad if not this thing is stupid and a terrible idea
I don't treat people differently just because they look,talk and hang out with different people. I feel like after i get a first impression i can tell what that person is like. In a friend i cant stand liars and jerks. People that bring other people down for no reason what so ever. It gets to me because no one is perfect and when you have a huge "stick" up in your face its annoying. I don't like fake people it just gets old hearing someone talk about how good they have it when you know its not the truth.

When i meet knew people i try to get to know them for who they are not by the way they look. But i dont like fake people or liers they get on my nerves. Then i can usally tell if id get along with this person or not. The friends i hang out with are very simmliar to me, they have the same intersts as i do and never get board of doing things over and over. I think its harsh to treat people wrong just for the way they look becuase they cant help it but they can help their attitude and the way they carry themselves. :] So i basiclly can get along with everyone. :]
i have some freinds that are differnt then me but most of them are close to being simmilar to me. the one thing i can not stand being different is the fact they dont like what i do or if they are to in to one thing that is stupid to me. i dont reaoly mind them being a little different or even alot as long as i can hangout and have fun with them. that is the veiw from me on that subject.
the differences in a friend that i absolutly can not stand would have to be loud and obnoxious people that think they own the world and talk alot of S!#$ but in reality have no room to talk......but i dont think being different has anything to do with clothing style at all unless u dress like a girl or sumtin then theres a problem..
personally, i love meeting new people. i love to learn about them - thier cultures, relious backgrounds, past experiences, and just kind of figure them out in general. i have in the past and continue to meet people very different from me and i have alot of fun doing it. the only really exceptions to that are people who look to force thier beliefs/lifestyles on me, people who cant respect and be kind to me and others. i cannot stand rude,controlling, and/or selfish people; and that has nothing to do with our differences in fashion, culture, religion, lifestyle or anything of that sort.
If someone comes up to me that is speaking, dresses and acts different i will treat them nice only if they are like not talking bad. Say if some random guy comes up and greets me and there weird looking, i will greet them back. Say if i am talking to them and the curse alot and talk about sertaoon things like drugs or about people i will say somethen to them. Like cool down. I wont say ortell the they are weird, because they might flip out and take it very affensove. I gease i enbrase them different. Not all people arethe same. People proble think i am wiered nobody says stuff mean. I trie not to talk about them. say if my buddies are i might agree. sometime bring a different subject up. My friends are some different, like a cupple very like prepy, prity boy, and most are go out side get dirty and just have fun. Kids that are mest up in the head and talk alot of trash and make up stories. I triedto be friends with ever one. I dislike when peoplesay stuff thats not true it pisses me off alot.
For me it doesnt matter if my friends are different. One of my best friends now and growing up was jewish. I am a very strong believer in Christianity, but that doesnt stop me from being friends with him just because he believes in something different. Even with my other friends, we are all different. We all have different personalities, and I wouldnt like it otherwise. One thing that i dont like is when a friend pretends to like something just because you like it. I dont think that they need to lie because if we are already friends then they dont need to impress me. They should just be honest and tell me that they dont like whatever it is that we are talking about.
My friends and i are just about exactly a like. Thats what makes us friends. But if there was somone different from me i wouldnt ignore them, i would get to know them. I feel that you have to give everyone a chance. Now if they make me feel uncomfortable i would then try to stay away from them but i wouldnt do anyting to harm them
Im not going to lie I can be very judgemental at times. So, if I see someone that is different than me i most likely jump to conclusions about them which is a really bad habit of mine. I definately feel that what I do sometimes to others that aren't like me is unfair and very wrong. If someone is different than me in a way that they have no control over, such as how much money they have or what they look like, than I would certainly be there friend and have nothing against them. However if someone is different than me by doing bad things by choice, then I would not want to become involved with them and have a friend that could possibly harm me with their differences.
THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE WAY DIFFERENT THAN ME.THEY DRESS,SPEACT,AND ACT DIFFERENT THAN ME.I TREAT EVERYONE THE SAME.MANY OF MY FRIENDS SPEAK A DIFERENT LANGUAGE AND HAVE ACSENTS THATS FUNNY TO SOME PEOPLE BUT THEY HAVE FEELINGS AND IT WILL AFFECT THEM.ANYONE THATS DIFFERENT THEN ME I DONT SEPERATE FROM THEM AT ALL.I TREAT EVERYONE THE SAME .SOME OF MY FRIENDS ARE ALOT LIKE ME BUT SOME ARE NOT.THEY TREAT ME THE WAY I TREAT THEM WHICH IS IN A FAIR WAY.NO MATTER HOW OLD ARE YOUOR WHAT COLOR ARE YOU'LL GET TREATED THE SAME.SOME PEOPLE COULD BE ANNOYING TO BE HONEST.SEE WE COULD BE COOL WITH THE PERSON AT A CERTAIN LIMIT.IF THEY IGNORANT AND DISRESPECTFUL YOU KEEP THEM AWAY FROM YOU AT A CERTAIN LIMIT OR BE HONEST AND SAY HOW YOU FEEL TO SEE IF THEY FEEL SOME TYPE OF WAY OF KEEPING IT EASY WITH YOU.MY OPINION IS THAT GOD GAVES US LIFE TO KNOW PEOPLE, GET ALONG, AND HELP EACH OTHERS.EVERYONE IS HUMAN WE SHOULD ALL GET TREATED THE SAME IN A RESPECTFUL WAY.
My best friend is different from me in most ways. For example she is a type of person that is not opened minded and i am. So if i do something that is not in her approval she is quick to say negative things. Also i can't tollarate hypocripes.
TO be honest there is one type of person wich differs me from them when i see there kind is the people that can call themselves better and treat anyone else they feel to be lesser as if they were nothing. ON a normal day you can see me assosiating with blacks, whites, asians, tall, short people you name it and if they give me the time of day than i have something usually nice to say. If i didn't that would make me just as bad as them. I have no reason to not talk to anyone for being different because in someone elses eyes im different too. I have always been raised to treat everyone with the same respect that i would like to recieve. ANd when i say everyone, which is a general word in my vocab and in the english dictionary meaning every being, i mean everyone. I also would treat the better ones with respect, but you would not catch me ever assosiating myself with their likes. I guess maybe in singleing them out and calling them not worth assosiatng with makes me just like them , but the only difference is that i don't see myself as better.
when i meat new people i treat them with the same respect they treat me with! also alot of the people i hang with are alot like me! so wat i am trying to say is that i treat people how they deserve to be treated!
i have an open mind.Because i really like to get to know some one before we talk or get along. also i attempt to get to know a person first before I judge them. beacuse the person might be nice sweet and talented
i do not judge people by any means. all people are not going to be as you'd like them to be. you have to accpt the fact that they are different, but in a good way..in their own way. i would not want to be judged because i think that it's really a rude thing to do. i would take my time to get to know the person, who knows we may become good friends or even best friends. my mom always reminds me that "you cant judge a book by its cover" and i go by that all the time.
Well im not going to lie sometimes i tend to judge people but I always seem to catch my self due to the fact that i would't like it if somone judge me. Everybody different and no me and my firends are not alike i mean marjority of my firends are loud very few qiute and. So yea there differents in everybody even my firends. There are creatin things that my firends wont tolrate from me and that me trying to do actin a completly fool because somtimes i tend to and when i do step out of line my firends are quick to put me back in my place. things tHAT I DON'T TOLRATE ARE HATERS because beging me i can see why people but i mean i love the attention just not the bad things they may tend to stay but i look at it like a obstacal to overcome.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one day i decide to go to church when i went i was hooked and slowly changed my ways and started to folllow the lord. this was the best epiphany i ever had because it improved my ife. I would have to say that my cousin had an influence on me. she was very into the word of god. i am happy she shared those words with me because i can focus on the bigger things in life instead of focusing on the little things and making them seem very important.i see another outlook on life and how to live it.
