How to avoid prejudices

All at some time in our lives, we have felt the right to judge the other according to their dress, their way of acting, their way of speaking or thinking. These prejudices are not beneficial for us or for the other person, since it limits the ability to enjoy both. In our society there is a difficulty in accepting the other as he is without criticizing him negatively. This ability to judge we have learned throughout life, whether in our family, in formal education or in the field in which we move. But once we reach adulthood, we are able to modify these thoughts and behaviors and reconvert them into positive actions. Next, we will introduce you, how to avoid being prejudiced.

one

Prejudice As the word says, a prejudice implies to judge in advance a fact, a person, a behavior. We should not anticipate what it really is. Many times, a person's first impression is often wrong. It is important to be able to maintain an open and flexible mentality in order to avoid wrong prejudices.

Weather. Before issuing a comment or cataloging a person, you should take the time to know it well. We can be positively surprised if we give it a chance. Observe with a certain distance and try not to act impulsively, so that the other person can act freely and behave naturally. If we do not give him the opportunity, we will never know if we were right with what we thought.

Sincerity. Do not assume something based on assumptions. If you have any doubts in relation to certain situations, ask the person directly. Especially, if it is about attitudes or reactions. Sometimes, what we consider a grievance, in fact for the other person is not, so it is necessary not to take certain things for granted, but consult before.

Clarity. You should try to avoid all those words that are destructive to both you and the other person. You must try to think positively, stay open to the situation, in order to accept the differences and not judge them. We are not judges of other people, we are neither better nor worse, we are different and that is why it is important to learn to live with diversity instead of criticizing it.

To prevent. Do not do to others what you do not like to be done to you. If you do not like being criticized for no reason, you do not do the same. Everyone has the right to be as they want while not harming others. Respecting different opinions and different ways of facing life is the fundamental key. We learn more about differences than about equalities.

Equality. No one is a better person because they dress, speak or act in this or that way. Do not fall into the error of believing that you are capable of acting as a judge in front of people. As human beings, we are all different and we are all capable in our own way. Prejudging, the only thing you will achieve is to stay in a place of passivity. Start working with your prejudices to learn from others and grow as a person.
