They then tend to have a very difficult time accepting others that don't identify with that particular label. And because their personal identity is wrapped up in it they then pass judgement on others who don't subscribe to their classification.<br /><br />I also think that labels in general are an easy way of letting others know where you stand, the down-side to this is that if people already have a pre-judgement on what that label means then more than likely that is going to cause an automatic distance between you. Unfortunately, even if they are wrong on what they believe the label stands for, you'll not get the chance to redeem it because they probably won't indicate that this is the reason for their disconnection.<br /> <br />That's not to say that all labels are bad; there are just pros and cons that have to be weighed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919894256377225168noreply@blogger.com
