Do you stereotype people?

Do you stereotype people?

I really don't do this much, though there are some things I just seem to believe. (Like all Police eat Donuts. )

No I judge character, or the person themselves, most of the time it's me thinking that the person is quite annoying.

Same here but I will say things that are true sometimes like that person needs to take a shower.

Lol no. Stereotypes are funny, though.

If someone tells me they're are a part or something or other, I won't link them to any personal traits or characteristics.

But if someone acts in a way that is sterotypical of a particular label, then in my head I will probably automatically label them as "acting like a x".

X? I don't usually..... I will admit, Anyone who smokes.... I instantly hate, so yeah, I guess I do... "All smokers are EVIL" I still think that...... But yeah...... I STILL DETEST ANYONE WHO SMOKES..... If i was friends with anyone who smoked, once I had found out, I'd leave them..... Don't wanna know idiots like them, but that's just me..... probably why I hate Alan and my Dad so much.......

Reading back on this, there are a few people I do sterotype by looks, and this is brought on by a few other discussions we've had around the forums.

Girls who wear make-up and look really over the top, like they've just came straight from Essex I instantly assume is a bit of a "cocky glamour girl" who isn't worth my time. As in if one turned around to me and said "I like Nidoqueen because it has more special defense than Nidoking" I would probably just die of shock.

Also, a bit like Yi with smoking, as soon as I figure out that someone takes drugs regularly I assume they're ether really Chavvy or just an idiot. Smoking... not so much, I've known a few smokers in my time and honestly... some do surprise you, but the people who are totally clean of it all to tend to be the best.

But so far everyone I've really put into categories like that... I've been correct with. So rather than people looking a way and then me giving them a label based on how they look... aren't I really just giving them the label that they're making for themselves with their poor lifestyle choices?

Mostly I don't, but when I was dumb I judged teachers saying they had no life.

"But when I was dumb".

Sounds like you mean "when I was younger".

I doubt anyone really went by as a child and didn't think "This would be a horrible job and these people clearly suck"

When I was young, I was a dumb guy. :l

No. As far as I know anyway. You guys should've seen me though.

I think I would of liked to of, I bet it would of been really interesting.

Interesting to compare how much you really have changed over the years.

Yes, it is. :L
