Why do I have this tendency to judge others? I mean, I've had this since I was really young. I always say things like,"Oh, I don't like the way he looks" or "He looks standoffish. I don't want to talk to him. In fact, I don't want to even know him" or "Why is he dressed that way? Why doesn't he smile? Why does he frown at me on the streets? Are you sure he's not in a bad mood?" So many judgments made. I wish I could just tone it down a little because others may easily be turned off by what I say. They may not even want me around. I've been doing a lot of thinking and I feel like sometimes I need to filter out some of the things I say, whether it's online or in real life. Sometimes I intend it to be a joke, but at the end of the day, people may take it as an offensive remark and just want to avoid me. I don't want that so what I can do to not drive them away? I haven't yet, but others tell me that I need to shape up. I'm still young, so there's still time to change.
