so i was thinking, when i've proven something wrong regardless of emotional validity, i won't budge. worst is if that person makes a mistake and we've only met once, it's hard for me to change first impressions. i do forgive but i still remember.

one of the reasons why i only have a few friends because i discriminate a lot of people for many reasons. of course not those petty ones like racial, ethnicity... blah blahremoved caps in title

Perhaps over time you might rationalize people more and just see that they are human and have frailties. Like I see people that might not be that smart and this and that... but heck... they are just plain ordinary nice people.

Perhaps instead of looking at the worst in everyone try looking at their best attributes and let those gloss over their inadequacies a bit.

98% of society isn't going to change to what you want, so you have to make allowances... imagine the smartest INTJ is one that can morph into and out of society and still maintain his/her values and thoughts. Treat it as one big and ongoing Psych test.... ;D

Yeah, I can be like that, too.

First impressions always count.
And I don't like ask twice.

You break the rules and you're opening the world to disorder :). Every single time I've broken my own rules because I wanted to be wrong I've ended up kicking myself for going against a proven formula.
At the end of the day you have intuition for a reason.

I'm usually open but yeah, I trust my intuition for a reason. Many times after about 1 minute I can mentally check off a person as somebody I like or somebody I loathe and rarely does that opinion change after further and longer contact.

I do trust my intuition most of the times, at times, I do make mistakes. Hey, even perfect people make mistakes[ dark chapter].

Wrong or right? I don't care whether the other individual believes I am wrong, the principles of arguing a point IMO are that it is applicable to the context of the time, place and topic.
A tangent is a viable means of resolving any initial confusion IMO (also).

This sounds like an emotional defense mechanism gone wrong. It seems to be protecting you from painful relationships by protecting you from relationships. Is this really the "least painful" solution?
