What makes a person hip or square? Its very rare to see some one be loved by all groups in society, but i guess thats it isn't it? Even though i feel as if i never fit in any where, i guess i'm just hanging out with the wrong people. But is it really that?
The other day i was at tafe and a mate of mine and I walked into the student lesure center to try and find a pool table to play at, in there were a large group of relitively large males. All of them with their own "contacts" and people they could call up to get them to beat you to a pulp. Now all we did was look around at the pool tables, quickly assessed whether there would be any free tables soon or not, and then left. Through this groups eyes, they saw us walk in, stare down one of their mates, watch him take a shot, and then walk out. I don't know how this threatened them but it did. I was later informed that these guys were almost ready to chase us out of the leisure centre with the pull cues and hit us until our insides hurt. I beleive this was a strong case of judgement. Now i'm not the buffest or the most built guy out, and my hair is long and i often wear bright clothes and band shirts, i think they saw me as an easy target, you know? Some one to make an example out of. Because i was in the minority.
Another day i was at tafe, standing outside having a cigarette by myself, and i noticed three guys on the balcony above where i was standing. I just stood there and kept to myself, quietly smoked, and then all three of them began to make fun of me, at first i ignored it. Then after a while i looked at them, and they didn't say a word. I looked away, and then they hid from my sight, and continued to make fun of. I again think this was because of my appearance, and because i was in the minority.
Why is it their right to make a judgement on me from my apearance? Don't judge me. I would rather they accepted what i look like and shrugg it off, then them judge me and then make fun of me. Even if they wanna judge me, just don't tell me what you think, just leave it. I mean through my eyes i see them as people with no sense of direction, they just follow the herd. They don't make their own choices, they just copy some other person, which they think is cool.
The punch line to this all is i have a friend who attends the same tafe as me, and he is friends with all these people. As soon as they knew that, they all backed off and let me be.
It just anoyes me. get off your high horse, stop hiding behind some one else, and show me who you really are. Show me what you love, show me what you hate, show me your truth. Show me how your voice sounds when every one else stops talking.

It's human nature to judge people. That's why first impressions are so important, and why stereotypes exist..
ReplyDeleteYou just gotta try not to get to pissed off at people judging you on appearances alone.
I think that it's because people live such sheltered lives, they are scared of the unknown and different, people who know how to be themselves. The people who judge are the ones too afraid to show who they really are, in fear that they in turn will be judged too. It's one big stupid cycle.
