Goody-Two-Shoes

We all are at fault of making fun of somebody whether that it is at school, work, or when we are just out shopping. I do it too, alto ugh I try not to sometimes because I don't get pleasure in making fun of other people. But sometimes by just thinking something really quick, it does help you feel better or make you laugh. When you start dwelling on the comments we make and continue to make them then that might be a different story.

I was at fault of calling someone a goody-two-shoes yesterday. If you aren't familiar with the term, it is somebody who seems to be the best at everything and who wants to be the best at everything. It is almost as if they know people are watching because they put on a show of looking good. But really, they may not think these things about themselves. It is the assumptions we create inside our own minds and then what happens? We begin to characterize this person and start to not like them even more. Have you ever hated someone and then eventually became friends and realized that your opinions of the person were just not true. Maybe you over looked particular flaws and connected anyway. The same thing applies here. And here I am thinking this to myself instead of trying to pay attention in class and answer the same questions.

Maybe she does smile too much but it doesn't mean I don't know the same answers or I can't come up with some analytical responses. I am blaming her for being a person I am perfectly capable of being. And that's not acceptable.
