Do you judge people on appearance?

Even though everyone does at times, I think I do a good job at treating people equally. I don't understand how some people judge and gossip about somebody they don't know. It frustrates me. Any thoughts on this?

I don't completely judge people by looks, but if a bum came and stood next to me, i wouldn't trust him right away until i at least got to know him personally.

I for sure judge a lot less now than I used to. I think it's because I moved into a more nice neighborhood. :]

I prefer not to judge people on appearance. As normally I end up being wrong. It's not something that I like to do.

I wouldn't like for people to judge me by my appearance so I don't do the same to others

Yo yo Kristaaa. Here is my answer: I think a lot of people are lying with their answers. I won't sugar coat anything. I will judge you if your wearing clothes that don't fit you right as in they hang off of your shoulder and it has stains all over it. Your jeans have a bunch of holes in it and stuff, I don't know, I just don't want to be associated with that. Am I wrong in thinking that?

I don`t. Because I have felt how horrible it is: to be judged by Your appearance. There was a time in my childhood when I could not afford to dress in new, clean and shiny clothes, and richer children used to avoid me because of that. Now I have beautiful appearance, clothes, etc, and plus positive attitude towards others. And I hate when people misjudges others because of their IMPERFECT appearance. :(

With you all the way :) Back when I was in middle school I would get judged all the time because I was skinny, and people automatically thought I had an eating disorder. Therefore, I was weird and no one would talk to me. Happy to say I was perfectly healthy :)

I try not to judge people based on their appearance. Appearances do not say enough about who a person is or what they are like. In order to judge someone, you must have at least one conversation with them. I try to treat everyone equally, but sometimes I find it very difficult to treat someone who is unclean with the same amount of respect as I would with someone who was. I guess that everyone is human and we all have our flaws, but at least I try not to judge people based on what they look like.
