Not to rag on people in general. I've found people in general to be rather nice. But I've managed to meet a few individuals that just.... they think that they understand things so well, and refuse to try to see things any other way and that just irritates me. So much, because to me, that's judgmental and forcing everything to be in a box just so. People, things, and events don't nicely into labels and boxes. Life is so complex that you're ruining your chances of getting it, or understanding things by forcing everything to fit in a label. And if you're looking for certain labels, but can't find it in something, that thing gets tossed aside. Like people's opinions, actual facts, people's chances... Really, the list could go on.
And what bothers me the most, is that some individuals take this stance with me, how could I know anything more than they do, we've had practically the same life experiences (not true, I just don't wear my past on my sleeve) or we're the same age, or I'm no farther along in my schooling. It's worse than being disregarded because I'm a child (which doesn't happen any more... that I can recall) because that at least is understandable. You can make assumptions about children that are often (but not always) more or less true. But young adults? Stop thinking you have everyone figured out, because you don't. Your brain hasn't even finished developing, so just stop it. I personally have had my opinions debated poorly, my knowledge (factual and correct) constantly questioned and/or disregarded and I can't seem to even try to explain myself, my feelings or ANYTHING really, because some individuals can't open up their minds and attempt understanding. I'm not saying I'm a saint, but I feel I have tried. I have tried very hard, and I'm just done with it all.
