Do you ever make generalizations about people but then get upset when you're included in someone else's generalization?

Generalizations tend to produce other generalizations (note that this is also a generalization). ;)

Not frequently, no.

@Matt85 I removed the word "frequently" to make this post more applicable to others. I think we all make generalizations sometimes, but it puts things in perspective when we end up in someone else's generalization.

I don't get upset when people generalize about me. I just prove them wrong with my actions and behavior.

Generally speaking I assume everyone generalizes everyone

Nope.
I love to be proved wrong about my generalization, so proving them wrong would be something I'd love as well.

@ElRengo I'm assuming that's Bertrand Russell? He was an absolute legend.

@SW-User
Yes, that Bertrand guy.
One of the legendary "fathers" of the Logicist school of thought in Math.
Till Kurt Godel ruined his dream.
I have to recognize that in his comment on generalizations he was focused in the Self Refference problem while he cared a bit less in other more grounded objections on the criticisms to generalizations.

I think it's human nature, our common sense tells us otherwise

I don't like generalizations. So I don't make them.
I try not to, because I definitely have had the experience of assumptions being made and stereotyping of my gender, race, etc. It’s not pleasant.

I don't care about that.

I don't fet offended,I get even because i didn't start it. If a certain lower caste of things on the right side of the isle want to play that game, then I'm all for a proper tit for tat. I don't care anymore and its highly amusing
We all do to a certain degree.
No. People are typically liars. They define me with lies then get me attacked. It's called America.

I don't care about what people think or say about me.
