Personally, I do believe I am too quick to judge others. I usually look at the way people present themselves by their appearance, rather their personality before talking to them. Even though I do this, I’m open to talk to anyone as long as they take the effort to talk to me. I’m usually too shy and anxious to go out of my way to actually talk to someone first, so it’s hard for me to get to know others well. I’m an extroverted introvert. I seem really out going and confident, but in reality I’m the complete opposite.

Lack of confidence also might be a reason why I’m too quick to judge others. Maybe the saying “what you see in others is a reflection of yourself” comes into play. I see the bad in people if they make a bad first impression before anything else, but how am I to do this if I didn’t know what the “bad” already is?

Being too quick to judge isn’t always necessarily a bad thing. There can be positive judging, which may be caused by intimidation, or negative judging, if the other person presents them self in a way that isn’t personally pleasing. I can have my view on someone, but the person next to me could have a completely different view. It’s all derived from my own personal taste and dislikes. I believe you can tell a lot about a person’s personality by the way the dress and how much time they take getting ready in the morning.

Aesthetically pleasing presentation is an extreme necessity in my life. It’s what I need to feel better about myself in the morning, day, and night. I’m a little bit self conscious. Being a fashion major, I have to care about what I look like, and it’s inevitable for me to look at others and not look at their outfit. I do believe I am too quick to judge others, but I’m always willing to make new friends because in the end, personality does win the heart.
