Why do people judge?

I mean, why do people already assume someone’s arrogant by the way he/she walks and avoid that person completely?? (Just giving an example)



Without conversing with someone, how else do we gain a comprehension of what that individual is like without utilizing past recognitions of typical behavior exemplified by others possessing similar outside characteristics? Until we meet and converse with an alternative individual, we solely have assumptions of what we believe that individual might be like. I don’t believe that tendency applies solely to high school. While ideally we shouldn’t judge individuals upon first meeting them, we typically do, sometimes without first acknowledging it. However, upon learning more about that person, our perspectives usually change. I think that the main barrier is looking past that first impression of one’s outer surface.
