Being honest with yourself, do you judge others by their outer appearances at first glance?
At first glance? Honestly? Of course I do. It’s not that I mean to and I would never intentionally treat someone differently based on that judgement but I think we all judge on a basic level at least part of the time.
There was a man that came into the library today, actually, with a group from some sort of nursing home and my first thought was that it was going to be a challenging interaction. He turned out to be entirely competent and a very nice & polite man on top of that.
I don’t think we can ever totally block out that judging part of ourselves but, in my opinion at least, it’s not so much about what you initially think as it is about how you treat a person.
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
