what is with society? people find any detail in others to dislike and make fun of-even if the person doesnt actually have that trait, they just think they do. heres some examples:
example #1: if you’ve seen the music video 4 the taylor swift song you belong w/ me you may have noticed that the girl who is not taylor swift is like super mean. but in the song, they don’t specifically say that shes mean, they just say she prefers short skirts and high heels to t-shirts and sneakers. why does everyone think that just because a person has a different taste in clothes that they’re mean??? i like high heels and mini-dresses, so everyone is mean to me, ’cause they think im mean. this isnt just a theorey. I’ve had ppl tell me that they used 2 think i was mean before they got 2 know me, and i couldnt figure out why… then i noticed this pattern that in songs and movies, the super mean girl is always the one w/ blonde hair who likes dressing nicely. i, personally, think this is unfair.
example #2: i was raised 2 have good manners, so i automatically say “please” and “thank you” and “sorry” if i bump into someone and i put my napkin on my lap when i eat and when im at a restaurant i always wait 4 everyone 2 get their food before i eat and same for waiting at birthday parties untill the birthday person has taken their first bite of their food. its just polite. my best friend thinks that this is sooooooooooooooo wierd. shes all “do you ALWAYS have 2 use manners? it bugs me.” the whole point of good manners is so that you dont bug ppl. apparently most ppl dont do any of the stuff i listed above, so because i do, im automatically a total mutant.
example #3: im a vegetarian, and everyone thinks that just cause i dont eat meat that i look down on them when they do. like, say i say something like “i looove asparagus” someone else will be like “god stop guilt tripping me!!! not everyone can replace meat w/ vegetables!!!!” apparently i cant be vegetarian without everyone thinking i hate all meat eaters.
according 2 my best friend, the stuff i listed makes ppl dislike me and think im a snob, even though i have never said something mean 2 someones face unless im reallllllllly mad but even then i always always always apologise and try 2 do whatever i can 2 make up 4 it. true, i have met other vegetarians who push their beliefs on others, but honestly that never works. and i have met ppl who like 2 dress nicely and think that anyone who doesnt is a total freak and are mean 2 them, but im just like “whatevs, everyone has different taste” i really think its unfair that ppl judge other ppl before they even talk to them.
