They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair.

It's funny how people always have something to talk about. To criticize you about. And the ones that talk the most, know you the least. Whether it's what you say, or how you say it. What you wear, and how you wear it. No matter what you do, there's going to be someone out there who's gonna hate you for it. I'm sure no one enjoys being criticized for every little thing they do, right?

Everyone is guilty of judging others,
everyone is a hypocrite.

There's no clear definition of what is and isn't allowed in this society. So it becomes easy for people to judge others based on their own opinions. Every individual has their own opinion of what is "inappropriate". And this opinion will keep on changing, and changing, as they become more exposed to the world around them. So what you didn't approve of yesterday, could very well be something that you're gonna do tomorrow. 



Whenever we criticize others for doing something, chances are, we do the same. Or at least have done it before. Come on. Everyone makes mistakes right? Even you. And when you were making them, there were probably others that were looking down on you too. Did it feel great? To have people scrutinize your every move? Did it feel great to be so cautious of your actions that you couldn't even be yourself anymore? 


Majority of the time, once we have a grudge against someone, everything they do is going to upset us. And we're going to have to deal with that. As much as I'd like to, I can't go around blaming someone for something they didn't do. I also can't make a big deal out of something that just, isn't. Don't throw daggers at someone out of anger, then regret it later. Have some reason behind the things you say. 


So much of what we think of others, is based on what we've heard. And so much of what we've heard, has been exaggerated, or even made up. By someone who probably only knew half the story. You don't know someone, until you know someone. 


Think about it. How many times have we met somebody that we first thought to be unpleasant, and then we came to realize that they're actually a nice person? And it's because we got influenced by something someone decided to say, out of their anger, or out of their judgement. 


Let's be honest. You be yourself, people talk. You don't be yourself, people talk. People are going to talk either way. If you're gonna piss someone off, at least do it being yourself, so you have nothing to regret later on. People are going to decide what they know about you, from what they hear and what they see. They are going to decide what kind of person you are, from what you wear and who you talk to. 

It's funny how people always have something to talk about. To criticize you about. And the people that talk the most, know you the least. But the people that do know who you are, and what you're like, aren't going to be shaken by rumors. It'll take time, but you'll find the these people. And when you do, you'll have
nothing to fear.
