Don't judge before you know the full story

Earlier, when I was looking over my Facebook page, I came across a video called Did You Know by YouTube user JordanWeissman. In the video, he's basically talking about how people tend to judge a person before they even get to know that person's story. Check it out, because he really does have a point when you watch it.

In the Suggestions to the right of the video, I came across a video called my secrets... by YouTube user wellendore. It seems this video is a response to an entire collection of YouTube videos about secrets. I have no idea who originally started it, but it can be interesting to see what secrets a lot of people have. Not surprisingly, a lot of the female users include the secret "I think I'm fat". Are there any females who don't think that when you can clearly see that they are not remotely fat? It's amazing to me that any female can think they're fat, even though they're slim. It's even worse when one looks like nothing more than skin and bones, and they STILL think they're fat. I really wish females wouldn't think like that.

One YouTube user, TheSammiMariaShow makes a real good point with one of the secrets she posted in her video of My secrets. The secret? "I'm still learning not to compare myself to others, which can be hard in this bloody looks obsessed world...". It's a very valid point. People really are obsessed with looks. Maybe this is the reason a lot of females seem to assume they're fat; they're not as slim as some supermodels and all, and so assume they're HUGE. I really wish people wouldn't compare themselves to skeletons.

Some of my favorite females are friends who are happy with who they are. At least they can be themselves, and not have to force themselves into being skeletons just to fit in with everyone's idea of being "beautiful".

Let me know in the comments what you think. Do you need to fit in with everyone's idea of "beauty" and "perfection", or are you just happy to be yourself, regardless?
