If there was ever a subject on earth we are forced to learn about and deal with on a daily basis it's other people. What have you learnt so far ? Iv learned that people do judge no matter how much they say they don't. Myself included but I think it's a survival thing

    I've learned that confidence goes beyond image and a persons attitude. The more weight I lose, the less confident I am. I always thought (in certain situations) "how can you hate yourself and be skinny when I'm fat and confident" now i understand it more than ever.

    I love what Jean Paul Sartre had to say about this subject. "Hell is other people." What could be truer than this?

    I used to love this saying. Until I realised I had a choice. There is lots of lovely people and I can choose to be around them. Iv been forced to deal with so many difficult individuals and I now try to avoid them. But they taught me things about human nature, the dark side. I don't know that I dislike them now, I look at them as providing me with knowledge

    Honestly, that's probably the best way to look at it as any other way usually leaves one feeling bitter and resentful.. or stressed out.

    As to what I've learned? I've learned that there are very few genuine people. If you find them, they are to be treasured.

    I think it's okay and normal to judge. People consider normal what they are. And anything different from us is not normal. It's human nature. The first instinct is to judge, second is to say to yourself that different is okay.

    I think the problem is that many people don't ever get to that second part. They just assume "eww, "x" is different than me and should be smote". I know not all people do that and I love when people can accept things that are different than their perception, but unfortunately, I don't find that happens often.

    Also, is your username by chance a reference to the music group or simply a coincidence?

    I have learned to appreciate the unique differences in personalities. I love hearing other peoples opinions and ideas.

    Almost everyone has attributes that I can appreciate, even people who I don't really like. It is easy to find things to admire and respect about people that you like, but I am finding more often than not that I can do that with people that I don't like also.

    people will do whatever you let them get away with.

    for a society, it's good to have a healthy fear of authority.

    no fear of consequences and society runs wild.

    I've learned that while I don't like dealing with a lot of people I try to understand them and show respect.

    Some people are awesome, but others not so much.

    I avoid a lot of people though, my headphones help me walk pass them without making me feel like I have to engage.

    ive learned people will turn on you.. some may take a lot than others but theyll turn you on something. my creedo born alone die alone

    This has been my experience too. I have it it my head that anyone may screw me over at any time with no warning.

    I can't help my optimistic nature though and am still willing to give people a chance.

    If they end up turning on me I'll be ok, I am used to it.

    Quiet and probably stagnant. I probably wouldn't have even invented the wheel. Other people show you whats possible. I guess everyone has something to teach you if you let them

    Pizza Delivery would be pretty dismal too.

    After a drive that was almost double the time it should have taken, I told myself that I need to accept the fact that MD drivers just down right refuse to use their blinkers. *kitten* that! It's there for a reason people!!

    Interesting take on it. Currently I'm fat, but I've been a fabulous size 6 in the past and for many years. Two days ago I walked immediately by a guy who, I'm sure, would have hissed something pornographic in my ear as I walked by him. But I wear a size 24, so I was able to walk right by him with perfect upright confidence without giving him a second thought. It occurred to me, after I passed him, that he would have been the type to do that. But that's no longer something I have to experience. I remember the cringing, bracing feeling I got when I knew I had to walk by men who would give me a hard time when I was a size 6.

    I am a size six. Your words are very true. Recently caught a young guy taking pictures of me while I was at a gas station. Creepy stuff like that. Sorry but l must also say I get hate looks from heavy and/or older women.
