Due to... A lot of bad experiences, there's entire groups of people that I refuse to get personal with. I confided this to a friend and they acted like I was the worst person in the world, because all these bad experiences have left me with boundaries.

For example...

I refuse to get too close with morbidly obese people again. Now before anyone jumps down my throat, I AM a morbidly obese person. Granted, I've had weight loss surgery and I'm incredibly active; I'm constantly counting my macros and putting in 4-5 days a week at the gym. I'm trying to do right for myself and my health, so I've learned to prioritise myself for once in my life.

Now all the morbidly obese people I know are lazy, unmotivated and obnoxious. Like I hate to make that link, but it's true. They constantly act jealous of my weight loss without helping themselves, they never have any motivation to even come for a lazy stroll with me, they're constantly sabotaging me by trying to get me to eat high calorie foods. None of my thinner friends do this, in fact, they're the ones that are actually proud of me.

There's... A few other groups of people I avoid, too. Like I'm queer, so I don't tolerate homophobes. I've been sexually assaulted by almost every straight man I know, so I'm super cautious around straight men. Etc, etc.

Basically, I've had more than enough negative experiences with certain people that I no longer want to associate with anyone else like them. I know I shouldn't be stereotyping, but honestly, crappy things have happened so often that I can't help but do so.

Am I wrong for trying to protect myself this way?
