OK, so I've never been in a fight or the type of person to antagonize or judge others really, but as I grow older (and especially as of late) I find it difficult to not blurt out things to people I see out in the world- whether it be their stupidity, or their ridiculousness (clothing wise, dumb actions, or their judging looks) I know it's not good, I'm probably going to end up in a fight one day. I hope not I try not to say anything. I tell myself, who am I judge them? I complain about feeling like others judge me, but that's just how they are. I judge others too. But I guess I feel it's different, I usually judge others when their are clearly superficial, selfish, wasteful (of food or as in littering, etc). So,
I guess I feel like my kind of judging is ok- it's based on peoples actions, it's more righteous in a sense. Versus most people I know judge others based upon their looks and what they think they know about a person(they must be poor (and that's bad for some reason, they must be a 'degenerate,' they must do drugs, etc.) I don't know, maybe I'm in the wrong a bit myself, maybe I've got things twisted. I don't want people to think I'm above anyone else, I hate when anyone thinks they are better than others. I mainly get annoyed when people are thoughtless towards others and the world at large and just make things worse and are mean and selfish towards others. Is that so wrong??

Yes, people can be quite annoying, but I am learning that generally they don't want us to try to straighten them out.
Thanks for this!

Well I can relate to this because I've always had trouble coping with people. Nowadays I'm a lot better I if look at how I was before but I have a lot to learn yet...

On bad days I can get easily annoyed and sometimes I respond aggressively, especially is the other person says stupid things. But hey, there are REALLY annoying people out there, it's true. Most of the time I just ignore them, but sometimes I can't control it... I have to continue working on this.

I am quite selective with people; I like it though, but I also want to get better at meeting and knowing new people.

I can totally relate. People in general get on my nerves. I am very easily annoyed.
