So it's not necessarily about the fact of being labeled, because we make a judgement and label someone within 10 seconds of seeing them.

STEREOTYPING

It's the fact that when we are mislabeled, it's hard to change that. And when labels don't match up with who we are, or people ONLY see the label and not the person behind it.. that's when the stigma comes into play.

Labels are not a bad thing.
It's how we use them and allow them to define, instead of poking holes in them. Taking labels at face value instead of questioning them.

The hardest part is to not let yourself internalize these labels and let yourself believe them. You should know you more than anybody else.. because you are you.


I feel good about my labels. :) They help me define me and knew myself. :)
