Misjudging Others · 11:42pm Dec 13th, 2018
On of the things I hate most is someone taking your actions or words and blowing them out of context or making more out of them than you intended. The worst part though is them then judging you without giving you a chance to explain. I learned from a very young age to have empathy towards others and not just say one way or the other. As I've learned very recently, people will jump to rather inglorious conclusions about you for something that you did that they misinterpreted as malicious intents. I've also learned that with those kinds of people, who judge before knowing the facts, that it's best to just leave them alone. You can't change the way that they see you because, in their hearts, they already "know" the kind of person you are. The only person who truly knows you is yourself and you shouldn't let the false pretenses others have about you bother you.
I suppose I wouldn't be writing this if I didn't let it bother me, though. I suppose sometimes it's also good to talk to someone who understands or, at the least, write down how you feel so you can get it out of your system.
Nicely said. I was actually talking about something similar with my mother earlier today.
There's a big, big problem today, I feel, with people judging others, taking things or words out of context... it's definitely frustrating, and also saddening too. It's definitely good to have some kind of connection with someone, or at least find some way to release the feeling in writing.

Definitely. It seems like people don't want to talk to each other to get a better understanding of the situation. Too quick to judge. They would rather just make assumptions. The worst part is when those people start spreading rumors which can hurt so much more.
