have u ever encountered a weird person in your life? someone that u notice his/her behaviour is somehow, different and a bit abnormal?

so, what would your reaction be when u bump into this person? do you feel like isolating and making fun of him/her all the time? or perhaps, you try to be an angel and feels pity for that person and hence, helping him around and be his friend. OR, you could be the OTHER kind who feels good after humiliating him and telling people about all the peculiar events that occur?

i have encountered several people with such weird behaviours since my middle school till my current uni. and honestly, i can sometimes be heartless and be the "mean" type of girl. at one point i can just point out some painful sarcastic remarks if ever the person irritates or annoys the shit out of me. but then, i can also come to my senses and hence, defending him when others try to mock him.

come to think of it, i do have high tolerancy for people with such unique behaviours. give them to me and i can still work with these kind of people despite of their flaws. sometimes, it is saddening to see on how some colleagues of mine totally isolate him and enjoy gossiping with the rest about funny or weird events that were caused by this person every single day.

however, i do notice that people like these are the ones who are terrified with this unlucky person. they will try to do anything so that the person does not sit next to them in class for instance. perhaps they are "too cool" to be seen around with this person.

well, this comes to the question of affective domain. i think my uni's system is bad with this. somehow, this practise has turned us into a judgmental person in deciding people who are good and bad. due to the grading system, one single mistake is strong enough to make people to grade you less. what happens to the term of "forgiving and accepting people"? what is even worse is that the lecturers are also biased when it comes to judging people.

i guess what the system should has been is to learn on how to accept people's behaviour and learn on how to improve them instead of degrading them with marks.
