I don’t judge anyone at all unless they tell me from the get go who they are. I always assume the best of people and give them a chance to tell me who they are before I think anything of them. In a way this could be a bad thing because maybe someone is a killer or a backstabber and I put my blind trust in them and they aren’t good to be around. I’ve done that plenty of times. I’ve people my friend and I thought they really liked me. A few weeks later that same person told another person all of my business and it hurt. I haven’t learned my lesson about thinking everyone is ok to be friends with because I don’t like when people judge me so I won’t judge others.
Another example is when someone is asking me to buy something or join an organization. I don’t think at all a little bit of the time and put my trust in it and I end up getting screwed over. I used to always think my parents friends were very nice and thought they would always be there for me and one day I just don’t see them anymore. It’s because I misjudged them thinking they were good people and not everyone that comes into my life isn’t.
One time I went to the taste of Chicago with friends and as we were about to leave some man behind the trees pssted at me to come over. I thought we wanted to know his way around so I went on over. He asked me did I want to travel and when he said that I ran off. He was arrested for prostituting girls overseas. I totally misjudged him and put myself in danger.
People that see me for the first time thought I was going to be the mean girl and not talk to anyone. I guess in a way that was true because I am I can get really mean when I’m irritated and when people act stupid. But when I meet new people I’m always nice at first and as they really get to know me they will see the mean side of me. Sometimes people may mistake me for goody two shoes because I always do my work and respect adults. That is true but I only respect adults if they respect me and almost all of my encounters with adults have been good. Others are horrible. When I am lied on by an adult, and even though it’s not right, I’ll definitely tell an adult they are wrong. I’ll go back and forth with them and even yell because I’m not a bad person. That maybe the only time I will get mad if someone misjudged me
People misjudge me all the time but I don’t blame them because sometimes I come off as being mean or a brownnoser. But that’s why it’s better to get to know people before you judge them.
I am that way too, Amani. I always try to see the best in people. Sometimes it means that I bring the best out in those people. Other times, it means that I get taken advantage of. But I think it's still worth it.
