why do people hate labels yet they label others?

they don't understand themselves and they have a lot of free time on their hands to pour out their insecurities which is not good.

Because it's easier. Because it doesn't require them to come up with their own ideas as to what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'. Because it's easier to make a snap judgement on a person. Because people are strange little creatures. Because when all is said and done most people don't want to put the effort into enriching their lives by understanding how someone else might view the world. Because it's easier to follow rules in a book and then pick and choose those that you like and disregard those that you don't really care for. Because it feels good to judge other people. Because saying that someone is doing something wrong makes the things you're doing wrong in your own life seem smaller.  \n\nThere are so many reasons as to why this happens out there. Mostly I think it happens when closed minded people start trying to 'help' others find 'happiness'. Sure, they want you to be happy..but their methods aren't always right. People like that..should be ignored.

Yes you're right. People always get jealous for some reason or another rather it's over a physical quality or material possession. Either way it's dumb. Everyone is different and we don't all possess the same things so it's best to just be grateful for what you do have. Hating someone for what they have is a waste of energy and it's not going to change anything.

It's called projecting, it's a psychological defense mechanism.\n\nThey see something they don't like about themselfs in others (rather justified or not) and lash out at it.

Labels are for food and drinks NOT PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's easier to label. Dealing with individuality requires a) patience, b) time, c) attention, d) critical thought. \n\nSome people just aren't willing to devote the time to dealing with others on an individual level, and it's sad to see. Others get it.\n\nThe path of least resistance is the most popular path in life, and it will continue to be that way until our ability to communicate gets better. Then, improved communication will make dealing with each other on an individual basis more practical. \n\nIn the mean time, you get lots o' stupid people.

People are scared of things they don't understand, and "Hate" is the result.\n\nIf you or something you like is being hated, it is never the fault of the person or thing being hated... it is the fault of the person who is DOING the hating. THEY are uncomfortable.\n\nYou can apply this to anything in your life... music, people, lifestyles etc.

Labels only labels used to categorize us and put us in groups artificially. i dont like to categorize myself and I dont like that we use these categories in negative ways. I never thought of this when I was a child and perhaps that is the problem we teach our young that different is bad not just different\n\nGood Luck and God Bless!!

People like to put other people into groups, stereotyping, its makes them feel more comfortable if they think they understand the person and can expect a certain behaviour from them because they have grouped them into an area they think they belong. This assuming is not good and unfair, just because a person looks a certain way does not mean they should be classified.\nIts easier to form a negative opinion of someone than a positve one, if you think about it, we want proof that a person is a good guy but we are happy to think he is a bad guy based on well, nothing.\nI work in the community services field and we are not allowed to stereotype but even I find it difficult not to.\nI have to remind myself all the time " don't make assumptions"

People disagree because they have their own personalities.

because they're afraid of judgement.  they judge others because they feel judged themselves.  i hate people that don't like me, but i don't try to, it just occurs that way.  we can supress or express our hate, but it's still there.  people hate as often as they love.  the end... i suppose.

Why can't you spell simple words like 'stupid' correctly?\n  \nAnd why do some people (from the Ivy-covered walls of college profs to the ordinary man in the street) feel that criticizing others makes them somehow better than others who they aren't worthy to kiss the butts of? \n\nI think perhaps people are NOT perfect.  \n\nAMEN!!!!

I hate that, too.  I'd guess it's because they're really afraid of who they truly are.  I like the 'what you see is what you get' types, myself.

Because to some people, their looks are everything. They want every one to see things the way they do. They believe that the way they look is better than anyone else's who is different than theirs. So if u don't look like them, they hate u just because of that. Some people just can't accept the fact that every one is the same (physically) on the inside whether they like it or not.

People give labels because it is their way of categorizing people. It's pretty much a lame form on sterotyping. It helps them figure out who they can hang around with and who they should stay away from. I've found that everyone who has those labels are fun! I hung out with the "jocks", "nerds", and the "druggies" and they all brought something to the table in a friendships. Unfortunatly, labels don't stop in high school. People will label you throughout your life. It's stupid, but it's a way people can make assumptions about you before they know you. They best way to break these labels is to just talk to people. They will see that you're not just a "goth, punk, freak, nerd, etc" and see that you're really none of those.

Because some people have issues with themselves and take it out on other people. And sometimes people do things to be seen and also don't rule out jealousy!
