Respect for people.
    #10764667 -

So I have this thing with people.

I generally like and respect everyone that I meet. I have tendency of seeing their good qualities right away, and I'm very laid back and easy to talk to. Most people I meet for the first always end up telling me some sort of story and I get to know them.

The result of this is that I become friendly with people rather quickly. All the while, I still really only see their good qualities and people rarely annoy me. I find obnoxious people humorous, and depraved people hilarious.

Sometimes I make friends that I know my closer friends and roommates won't like. So I feel like I can't hang out with my new friend out of respect for my old friends. My friends can't understand how I can stand to be around some people. Its just that I genuinely think most people are inherently good, and I respect peoples differences.

Is it weak to give people such a benefit of the doubt? Are my friends in the wrong for labeling people as douche bags, annoying, faggots, lame...whatever....when I consider them just another person with different perspectives on life?

Most people are just looking to relax and have a good time. If you are willing to relax with them and chat about shit, you'll quickly find that people have had some crazy experiences, and they're just trying to get by on this crazy planet Earth just like you.

The only people I don't like to hang around much are the extremely egotistical ones who can't restrain themselves from endlessly talking about themselves or degrading others.

Not sure what I mean by all this, guess it was kind of a rant. Maybe you all of similar thoughts, or not. Discuss.

I'm the exact opposite. I am very selective about who I associate with. I am slow to like someone and not very many people fit my requirements. Much better that way. Keeps me from getting fucked over.

I've only been really fucked over one time. I let a friend who I trusted at the time live in our house for a while. I was growing mushrooms at the time, and I told him this before he moved in. Initially he said he was fine with it, but after about a month he started freaking out saying he didn't want to be around mushrooms. He left without warning and jacked us out of a month of rent.


Other than that....I'm not a total idiot. I can tell if people are just straight up assholes and are only out for themselves.

I guess in general I mean when I meet people for the first time, I have a very open disposition towards them. I don't judge people until I've gotten to know them a little bit better. Sometimes I'm surprised what I find out when I do....but its not something I can help. Its like an intrinsic part of my personality....I just really like getting to know people and I hope every person I meet has something interesting to offer.

I am kinda the same way, laid back, get along with everyone. I find I run in to a lot of the same problems with friend incompatibility, but there is always a way to work around it.

I do want to point out though, that some people just are douchebags. I mean seriously, I give everyone the benefit of the doubt when I first meet them, and these people seriously fuck up right from the start. Not cool :nonono:

Friend incompatibility....that sounds about right.

But yeah, i mean there are definitely people that are straight up tools for sure. I just don't hang out with them. Just cause I respect people doesn't mean I want to hang out with everyone...I stay close to those that I vibe with the best.

I can relate to all of these. 

i also think it's important to be wary of people that will fuck you over- which is the problem with being too nice nowdays to just anyone.   

nice people are usually cool by me- as long as their not weird nerds or something,  .  it's mainly liars, selfish people and assholes that i can't deal with!  and anti weed people :thumbdown:

I am the same as you. Its just that many people feel that everyone should be like them. And if you have any differences, they will label u. I accept everyone for who they are as long as they aren't out to cause harm. I live by the golden rule, and once i know you, you get my silver rule "Do unto others as they do unto me". As long as you aren't being a selfish asshole, we are cool.

But if everyone could just understand that our experiences shape our personality, and that everyone is different, the world would be awesome. But so many hold onto what is called "Normal" where they live, and are afraid of anything that doesn't try to fit into it.

Its not weak, its a strong belief in the good of people.

With me, people start out with huge credit. My basic respect is very high compared to many other peoples initial respect given.

But, if you LOSE my respect you practically gain an enemy, because at every appropriate moment I'll voice my uncompromised opinion on that person and how it came to be so. Given my reputation among my friends thats like a Fatwa, you'd end up with a whole bunch of people not liking or mistrusting you.

I give a lot of respect and consequently I get a lot of respect. The majority of my friends consider me their best friend - not because i am "all that" but because I do "all that". A friend with issues can show up at my house at 4 in the morning and ring me out of bed and I'd be with them helping, supporting well beyond noon, or painting their shed with them for that matter.

Friendship is a really big thing to me, far more than the mere hanging out in good times that it is for many others.
