Its called reading people. I can generally tell what people are like 5 minutes of talking to them by the way they talk, act, dress, and respond and I can generally tell if I will like that person based on that alone. Its not 100% accurate but its close enough to be worth it. Certain behaviors or subjects they bring up will automatically make me think less of them and not want to associate with them. If you can't or don't do this your are either lying, unaware, or not human. I don't call them out and tell them they are idiots I just avoid them.
What do you call it when?

Well I don't THINK I'm a nerd....and I don't think I've done anything to make the person in question think I'm a nerd....or what I heard "too nerdy"teh_pwning_dude said:
Well, personally I'd automatically gain a liking for that girl in the corner. However that's the exact same as the person disliking her. Swings and roundabouts.Mr.Petey said:
Oh nah she wasn't one of those types who would lash out to disguise some inner pain or her own frustrations at not being able to form a civil conversation (and all other psychological stuff pertaining)teh_pwning_dude said:Well... okay. I don't see how it is, but I'm not gonna start something. I don't see how you can have no tolerance to judgemental behaviour, as thats just what people do. You judged her as being snobby and narrow minded, when maybe she's hurting inside and taking it out on people she doesn't know.Mr.Petey said:Just an example of how someone took a look at me, analyzed me in an instant according to their narrow minded view and cataloged me. The story may not be exact to what the OP asks but I felt it was semi-relevant
Nah I knew this girl for a while, grew up in the same village. Didn't care to know me or talk to me, just made snide offensive remarks as the aforementioned story before and was a real class example of some jumped up varsity girl (or whatever the expression is to describe a nasty spiteful girl who couldn't give a rodents rectum about those who weren't in her "group" of "friends")
Irrational would be what I would go with.
He presumes much and derives conclusions from that, not even knowing if its true.

I know it's not strictly to do with anything governmental wise, but just the instinctive nature that fuels fascism to lash out at that which doesn't conform to what it deems is right.teh_pwning_dude said:
Bigotry I feel is another aspect where somebody can be so focussed on their own beliefs and such, eventually leading to certain levels of animosity to those who again, won't share the same frame of mind.
Humans will always be quick to label and analyze that which they don't understand. That I understand and can't/shouldn't waste a lifetime convincing people to change their ways. That's just how I personally perceive it and call it really.
^ This. Personality is the only thing you can base your opinions of people on, life is like that, everyone isn't supposed to like it each other. They can however be civil to each other. If this person is going out of their way to show their dislike and abuse you then they are assholes. Otherwise, I'd label them as normal.Snarky Username said:

*shrugs* well I don't know you personally so I can't say much. But if they think you're a nerd, why can't they say so?Quiet Stranger said:
I think the wording of your question confused some people. If this person took the time to get to know you, then they said they didn't really like your personality, that's legitimate. if they assumed based on appearance that you fit into one of the social classes typically found in a high school, such as nerd, jock, druggie etc., then he is prejudiced
No, it's not like racism at all. Disliking someone for their personality is completely valid. Like, if I find someone annoying I can feel fully justified in not liking them. Racism is where I don't even bother to find out their personality and consider my dislike of them a foregone conclusion based on their ethnicity or just skin pallor.
If I just assume negative things about your personality by your appearance then that is called profiling and is more akin to racism, though still not the same.

i dont think nerd is a personality type i think its just a label but if your annoying or an ass that might have something do do with it but yeah being a nerd shouldnt effect your personality
Well, you have a choice as to what your personality is, you can be a jerk or a nice guy, and that's your choice, as opposed to skin color where that is purely genetic, so I can judge you based on your choices, and that's not being prejudice at all, if you see a guy that drinks alcohol alot you aren't exactly gonna ask them to watch your kid for you, see what I'm getting at.Quiet Stranger said:
They're judging your interests, dislikes/likes, and hobbies (in your case, a sum of things people often refer to as 'nerdy'), but that isn't your entire personality. It simply makes up a part of who you are. And no, it's not "basically the same thing".
Those people aren't worth your time anyways.

I'd probably call it Life. Not everybody is going to like everybody, and that's ok. The only thing TO judge people on is their actions, or whether their likes/dislikes match enough with ours, since we tend to gravitate towards people with similar interests and values. So if someone doesn't like you, tough luck for them, and go find someone who does.
