SOCIAL: THINK TWICE

Have you ever had someone try to tell you who you are? This is a problem people have. Labels happen because people want to maintain authority over other people. It is really a reflection of how a person can be a social threat to that whomsoever is doing the labelling. When you label someone, it causes them to self reflect and they then negotiate with themselves. In their attempt to negotiate they either improve themselves or go to despair. The average person will experience resentment. But, there are those who take it constructively. That is rare in this day and age as we are being taught to shut down people who, “trigger,” us. This is what society is teaching the youth. They are censoring those who provide criticism. They are victims also but those with the most to loose are those that are being labelled against their will. These labels cause people to change their life course. Labelling someone can change their whole way that they perceive themselves. This can then cause a person to become depressed. This person may then go to despair which can affect his whole circumstance and interpersonal relationships. So, the next time you try to even tell someone who they are, think about the implications it may cause them, the amount of grief they may experience and the pain it will cause. Do the responsible thing and realize that they need to figure out on their own, who they are. Therefore, if it is not nice, keep it to yourself. Rise above those that say derogatory statements and make a difference in a life.
