Does anybody here get really pissed when people start judging you from the moment they meet you?*raises hand*
Yep, it seriously bugs me.
Like buddy, I met you 0.25 seconds ago, can you stop trying to write my freaking biography?
Everyone thinks they are nothing less than Sherlock when it comes to ascertaining your history, physics, chemistry, geography, etc etc. One look and they think they probably know more about you than your best friend does.
Reality check, mate- You. Don't.
Classic example is when they try and guess your age/the class you're in.
Person: Oh hi there!
Me: Hey! Wassup?
Person: You're in college, right? What are you studying?
Me: ....
Person: ....
Me: I'm not in college.
Person: Oh. My bad.
Me: Nope, it's actually my bad that I bothered responding to your "hi", you $#!%&#.
Yeah, it happens.
We've all been there.
And when your relatives/people your-parents-know get your age wrong, it sucks even more because 1. Politely correcting them is difficult, and, 2. You can't give them a piece of your mind, because, 3. Your piece of mind's language isn't PG-13 at the moment.
Crappy assumptions about age are just the back cover of the book. They still have an entire biography of bullshit to publish yet.
Based on your clothes, your parents' income has already been determined.
Based on your way of speaking, the status checkbox gets a tick.
Ever been at those parties your parents drag you to and you happen to spot a bunch of elderly lunatics in some corner who are constantly glancing at everyone and then gossiping like there's no tomorrow?
That group deserves the freaking Nobel for Judgments.
If you happen to be polite and are seen helping people around, you are judged to be a golden kid who aces classes, brings home sports trophies, never drinks/takes drugs and is all-in-all God's gift to society.
In reality that kid could be the complete opposite, and is only polite because their mother probably blackmailed them with the threat of taking away their sports car (with which they drag race).
Who knows?
Stop judging you asshats. Sheesh!
On the other hand, there could be that kid who sulks in the corner and is seen constantly jabbing in words on their phone's screen and it's prophesied by the Group of Eternally Crap Judgement that the kid is gonna fail at life and die at the age of 21 because they crashed their car in a tree after drunk driving.
They of course don't think that maybe that kid is the actual golden kid who works his ass off for everything in life and at the age of 21 actually becomes the richest entrepreneur for that age.
Have you seen the future? Are of a freaking Oracle?
No?
Then can you please shut your mouth and let your stupid assumptions go down the drain?
Thank you for your useless and pointless contribution to society!
