Yea.. for me, I just feel like.... knowing people's reactions to things helps me understand how I feel about it, and also it tells me a lot about the person. Almost like its a filter to see who makes it through as someone I might actually be able to have interesting chats with, or be friends with.

Even though I say the ones who react poorly are not my crowd and I typically categorize them as ignorant or narrow minded and then dismiss them, they still factor in to my existence - especially at work. So now I try to be careful, but its tough.
