Oops I did it Again...

some how i have grown up using words that are found in the english language however i have not yet mastered it. quite often semantics complicate my ability to communicate. quite often i have to remind myself to think before i speak but sometimes i don't.

although you can correct yourself and say no no no i meant to say blah blah blah it is impossible to delete an idea from the mind of one who misinterprets your thoughts.

i say that to say, I am an extremely prejudice person.

now when you hear that negative thought start streaming through ones mind but please allow me to explain myself. whenever i am approached by anything a person, a place, a work of art, I begin to judge it and formulate opinions about it. to some extent we all do. this is what creates desire or interest. you see a person and you think they seem like a great person, of course you don't know, but you approach them openly and try to find out more about them and as you gather information you develop your opinions or prejudgements of them. you may start to feel that they have lude intentions, are not intelligent, that you two are not compatible or you might find them intriguing, thought provoking, perhaps someone you could love completely. even before there has been enough time to validate these opinions they cross your mind and with time you work towards achieving the most positive relationship. likewise when there is an initial negative prejudice i precede with caution i realize that my prejudgement may be wrong and allow if not encourage others to prove so. however, my goal in interacting with others is still to achieve the most positive relationship possible and some people are just not compatible or only compatible on certain levels and with them it's best to not cross the line into negative territory.

Now when i say i am forming prejudice opinions of people you must understand that my prejudice opinions are not formed based on non-character related things such as age, race religion, sex, sexuality or any other thing that doesn't really matter but instead on peoples opinions on subjects and things like how a person carries themselves, how they interact with people around them, and just the overall "vibe" you get from a person. if someone is a vegetarian member of PETA who is against the killing of bugs they're probably not going to be the favorite guest at the pig roast. now i also have to admit that sometimes i have judged a person based on vain things such as how a person chooses to dress and how they style their hair, but sometimes those things can say a lot about a person. i don't think i'm wrong in doing so.

in many ways i think this is completely normal but sometimes i'm not so sure.

i am the same way when it comes to judging people based on how they speak, or write. i keep a dictionary on hand so i can make sure i don't use a word incorrectly... i think i'm a perfectionist but lately i've been slipping. anyway, i feel you and i hate when i use a word incorrectly because i know people are thinking "damn she's stupid." LOL
