Do you look down/think less of/disrespect/consider weird those who are different than you in terms of personality, religion, traditions, ways of thinking, nationality, and looks?

-Some people are sensitive and some are not…what do you think of those are?Do you make fun of them just because they aren’t like you or do you realize and understand that they are the way they are?

I don't make fun of them or disrespect them UNLESS they have no respect for anyone.
I would try to avoid them as much as possible.

We can't make everyone like us so we just ignore who we can't stand, right?

Nope I always try to understand things from their perspective. Obviously, all the things you mentioned religion, traditions, the way they were brought up plays a massive role in their actions.

I don’t think it is fair to look down at some people or judge them especially if the whole nation is behaving in the same way.

I dont look down to whos different than me i look down to who tries to be different than others in the wrong way ..

Being abroad, I have to always have an open mind since i'm bound to meet people who are different from myself. Most of my friends have completely different views than me since they've had a different upbringing than me. I do not look down on them. I share my views with them and they do the same with me, so we learn from each other.

I might not understand it but It won't necessarily make me look down on them. I try to not judge a person unless he/she is doing something that feels really wrong to me but since I myself don't like to be judged and like to be given the benefit of doubt then I have learned especially during the past year to try and keep my thoughts to myself and just try to advise politely instead of preach on what one should and shouldn't do, or be and shouldn't be. I'd rather point the finger on myself now and fix what needs fixing in myself (and just like many of us..there are plenty of things to work on).

I might not understand it but It won't necessarily make me look down on them.
Exactly. As long as they're nice people...why bother?

Generally no. I mean, we are surrounded by different people all the time and I doubt we look down on them all. However, sometimes because of one's personality, I may look down on them. if there is a person I know who does not have a personality, who thinks he or she is all that, who is weak or takes everything personally or is basically a big baby, I do look down on them. I feel they should just grow up and get some balls!

Generally I don't look down on others unless they offend me or think they're better than me in one way or another. However, I don't respect people who practice or are into something which I am totally against. For example, gay people.

The only thing I cannot and will not tolerate is seeing someone thinking highly of themselves, degrading people around them. Oh I get so evil when I see those types people.

Of course there are things I look down on. I'm not going to say I don't. Because I do... I look down on those who insist upon ignorance being right rather than thinking there's a possibility there's a better answer. I look down on women who degrade their own gender. I look down on strong people who take advantage of the weak. I look down on men who don't respect women. I look down on people who easily accept things they don't agree to and give in. I look down on people who do not accept other religions and cultures. I look down on arrogance. I also look down on emotional weaknesses or cowards. and sometimes I would look down on myself if I happened to have any of those traits... which thank god so far I don't.
so yes...those are things I am not fond of and would take as a reason to keep my distance from.

now why would i look down & disrespect those people who are differnt than me? ..everyone has his own way of thinking & i respect that.

moreover i get so along with people who are traditionally & religiously different than me :star:

ahh same here

im unique in this world, no one is like me and im not like anyone, but we're all the same

i look down on those who think thet are perfect and stuck up. No, actually, i feel sorry for them..i do understand though.

It's not one's place to judge no matter what. One cannot say that someone has a bad personality or is a big baby coz i doubt that that person is perfect themself. we should try to understand no matter what that people are different that you in probably every aspect so instead of insulting or looking down on them..see yourself first, if your are perfect (which i doubt) then you can judge..but until then, just know that's wrong to look down or think less of others..for ANY reason.

i like how this sounds. very true.

we are all SO different yet all the same.
only smart people wouldnt understand that sentence.

I'm totally with you on this one.

I love the differences, And I LOVE learning from it ;p

Not at all. It's interesting to get to know they're point of view.

If they pointed out something that I myself had a strongly opposite opinion about I'll explain what I think to them and try to make them see it the way I do but that's about it, won't disrespect them for having a different opinion.

After all, life is going to be really really REALLY boring if every single person had the exact same opinion of matter :yes:

I don't look down on others unless they offend me one bit or they think they're all thaaaaat (when they're NOTHING)!

My human propensity calls forth these feelings of superiority and arrogance…

Yet, I try to look at how I was before having become what I am…how I am compared to those better than me… and how badly this person might be seeing me…

I think the real elegance and the core of wisdom is the ability to understand the substance of all human beings… at that level we find ourselves excusing the less knowledgeable, praying for guidance for the wrongdoers, feeling the pain of the less advantaged …and almost leaving nobody without a share of a humanely thought from us.

^She sed it all. :yes:

pygmalion, i have to say that i loved your answer the absolute most. Very very well put:)

Being different doesn't mean being weird neither right. If I see others who are different from me weird, then I should expect them to look at me the same way.

fully agree with tripletee's post.....

Well said :)


I agree with it.
