Question

Phillip's Answer
People judge, even when they say they don't. That word judge makes it sound negative. It's logical, there's first impressions, and impressions made in follow up meetings. So at what point do you know them, can you ever really know them? I think you can know a person enough to the point where you can create a range of expected behaviors, and that person will rarely act outside the range in your head. The more often your idea of that person matches up with reality, the more you will feel like you know them.

Think you have wisdom or insight, sign in or join to answer the question too.
