Do you hate being labeled?

Yeah, I'm labeled as a creep bc I'm an old hippie & dress as such, along with my long hair. F*ck em all!

I think people find a little too much comfort in labeling others. It’s seen as an easy way to cast others to the side and feel higher on the imaginary power totem pole without having to look at themselves for the real reasoning for why they feel the need to label in the first place. I’ve labeled others without thinking twice, and I’ve definitely been labeled by those who did the same. It’s not the greatest thing to be on either end of and it’s a part of the whole judging thing that can get out of hand if we don’t see it for the level of hatred, ignorance, failures within ourselves that it actually feeds into.

It's at least subconsciously intentional to box you into a rigid set of ideological categories. Everybody talks about 'thinking outside the box' but precious few believe in it. Also, once they stick that label on you, they never again hear what you're saying or see what you're doing.

Doesn't bother me.. Cuz, I know who I am and doesn't give a fuck about what others might think of me

I'm called a hippie often enough and I don't mind. It's when people want to stuff you into certain ideals with labels...usually in negative ways that really get to me and sometimes, the people get to know that. 😈
Antivaxxer, vaxxer, selfish, responsible, stupid, smart.... the list just keeps going... and I really don't care until people start hating and saying nasty things about others.
That's just nasty to wish horrible things on others or to call them unkind names.
Some labels are just part of daily life and that's fine when done with good and decent intentions.
Labels can be another form of stuffing people into groups and seeing them all the same.

We have that in common. I don't have to try to not label anyone, I just don't do it. People are people. And we all have the same value. ALL of us. No exceptions.

I wish I had labels on me, at least then I would have an idea of who I am anymore.

Humans have a fascinating need for order of some type even when they say they don't. Should anyone feel the urge to classify me he/she is hereby notified of my total disinterest.

Yes, I tend to avoid letting people get to know me because I'm sick and tired of being labeled. No, I'm not necessarily what they're thinking. I'm not a stereotype.

rarely are labels, particularly from strangers, endearing.

I agree

Having been labeled, (except by my own family) my entire life I'm pretty much over it. I take life much less seriously. Call me a queer and watch as I NOT cry.

right out of the womb you are labled

it literally IS human nature, our brain like categorization.

I’m used to it. Everyone assumes stuff until they get to know me

Yes. I don't think very many people fit into any little box of traits, views or opinions.

Yes, I find it abhorrent. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.

yeah no one should be labeled. a person is too complex for that.

They are sticky and hard to clean off.

You labeled me, I'll label you!

Neither should I

Labels are easy. No one has to get to [b]know[/b] you or ask what you actually think. 🙁

[c=800000]I hate and resent being labeled, having been on the receiving end of a number of "false labels" over the years.[/c]

Yeah ive been labeled as a drunk. But dont care what they think

I'm very used to them that I don't mind them.

Yea, people really make shit up in their heads

What are you being labeled as?

I do not. Petty things like that never bother me.

Yeah labels are limiting. Humans are more complex
