TheGuard13 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 We all know people love to gossip, etc. I've never been one to care who says what about who, as I prefer to judge for myself. Back when I was about to get together with my now ex girlfriend, I was warned off her because she was "toxic". Turns out she wasn't toxic in the least, she was insecure, and not great with communication at times. Then, I met a girl about six months ago who is a little zany, and everyone, but everyone I know, kept telling me "She's not all there", "There's something off about her", and point blank, "she's crazy" based on said zaniness. I've known her for six months now and never seen anything wrong with her. Went out for drinks last night, and it turned into dinner, and we ended up in a serious, mature adult discussion, the likes of which I haven't had in ten years. I'm sure she has a side to her I don't know about yet, but I'm starting to think it's more about her not showing others the side of her that I saw last night. Is this kind of thing usually just people misinterpreting certain behavior in a vaccum? Some weird form of jealousy/annoyance? Some inherent bias? Do you all encounter this much in dating/social situations?
Author TheGuard13 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Well, of course I keep stuff in the back of my mind...but it just seems that this happens a lot more than it needs to. Not just with women, but with people in general. People seem to make a lot of snap judgments that aren't neccessarily remotely accurate.
