I should probably be trying to get some sleep, but my brain has been anti-sleep thus far this week, and knowing how I get, there's no point in trying now.
Tonight while I was at work, I was thinking about how we form opinions about people before we even know them. Not stereotyping, but through listening to others' opinions of someone, we decide whether we like them or not before we give them a chance. I know I do it, but I wish I didn't. I'm going to try harder to let myself form my own opinions about people from now on, and allowing others to do the same. Life is so depressing in that aspect. We could all be missing out on so many opportunities and friendships and experiences that we would get if we just stopped being so judgemental and prevent ourselves from needing to agree with those around us.
Personally, I can't stand it when people don't stand up for what they believe in. I hate watching people who fear voicing their opinion because they want to avoid confrontation or somehow feel that they can gain the respect of others by agreeing with them. I feel sad and angry for them all at the same time, because I get upset thinking that they're going to let people walk all over them for the rest of their life, especially when it's one of my friends.
Then again, I am so inept that I can't even form beliefs of my own to stand up for, so I guess this whole post has been hypocritical, not useless though, I'll want to read it later, hopefully when I figure everything out.
