I'm sure we all do, but have you ever done so and made a HUGE mistake that you wish you could change?
nope I don't jump to conclusions at all. I can think it through real fast.
And just a request, stop making threads about another thread.
Edit:Kita got me so yes this post was the first time I have
Only when it's a logical assumption. 9 times out of 10, I'm right in that respect anyway. xD

This is actually something I've had on my mind for the last week. It just so happens I have a room mate that assumes the worst of me all the time and I'm getting sick of it.

LOL See it happens to us all.
The one thing I find is most people, unlike you, don't even try to think things through. People seem to have a tendency to assign bad motives to others without trying to see things from the others point of view.
I'm so happy I'm moving. I hope to have all my stuff out tonight and be done with it. The last thing my room mate said to me upset me so much. As JWs we are like one HUGE family. The other day she says to me: "Andrea I hope that some day you will see that people will like you for who you are and you don't have to embellish on things." She then gave an example of something she over heard me saying, but apparently didn't hear the whole thing. I was so upset. I just said to her "You know people only have to embellish if they care what others think. I fail to see how that fits me since I could careless of what others think of me." She stared back at me with a blank face and I walked away.
I told my other friend about this situation and she brought up a VERY good point. Those that assign bad motives to others or thing poorly of others or think they lie or anything, do so because they project themselves and their own thoughts on other people. Meaning that this is how "she" is so she things others are the same way. I don't like people that have to put on a face and being something they are not. To me that's a sign of low self esteem. Which my room mate admitted that she lacks in self esteem. It's quite eminent too.
Well. Not really a HUGE mistake, but I do imedeatly regret some things that I do.
We all assume, though we shouldn't. Its just human nature. Sad truth. Whenever we assume, we usually wind up making fools out of ourselves. We assume over almost anything. Its kind of like that cliche "don't judge a book by its cover" we hear one thing and assume it to be good / bad or right / wrong. Kind of like how some now assume that NS2 is a bad board without looking and spending some time at it.
Or it could be like a movie or game. Most now assume Pokemon is for kids only because of the drawing and stuff. They fail to go in-depth and see how good the games can be.
Never, its a mistake that can ruin everything.
Yes, I tend to do that. I have a very wild imagination, and visualize things that are completely wrong. And my thoughts get warped unnecessarily.

About the "we here on thing and assume" that happens way to often. Most times people will hear something form someone and assume that it's true before hearing the other side of things.

I remember a wrong assumption I made about you. I remember on M_F's forum I was trying to get you to go to NS2 but you had said some things. I forget what. Anyways I had assumed that you were some evil spamming punk kid that didn't like anyone. LOL

Yep, its a "welcome to man kind" sort of thing. People are so closed-minded that they become ignorant to the truth that something they currently dislike is something they could find enjoyable. I used to say the XBox 360 sucked, but I had not given it a try and now..I have one and simply love it. We're all guilty of doing this sometime in our lives.

I hate how half of the English speaking population doesn't know how to spell the word "lose" but they can certainly spell "loser". ::)
Well duh.

It's that same closed-mindedness that causes racial hate. I just saw the movie The Great Debaters on Tuesday. It was such a good movie. But even seeing the racial hate in the movie, which was based in 1935 in the south, it's hard to imagine what it must have been like living in that time. It's amazing because it seems that most people just follow the teachings of their culture and society in which they live. There is so much hate in this world and as ironic as this may seem, you can probably "assume" that it's because of those that presume or assume on many different things.

Yeh, you could, but you shouldn't. Then you'd be just as bad as them and just as closed-minded.
I catch myself assuming things about people all the time, even after I've had assumptions proven wrong about people many times. I try not to do it but it's really hard not to think about how someone might be based on how they look.
I assume a lot of things.

If you weren't to assume that there is an issue because people assume then what what the issue be caused by? How is it closed-minded to assume that people assume?
I try not to assume, because, you know what you do when you assume :P
Oh here is a good assumption made from the "great" Members Relations person over on NS2 EJRaven himself:
QuoteWe are building better communication between the members and myself, there is no need assume things, Kita please stop trying to win the members by sticking up for them, they are more than welcome to email me, PM me their ideas or concerns themselves, the doors are open to any requests, I also have an Admin-Member thread floated on the Community Focus forum for this same type of requests.
This was the post he made in my thread about the users that were still banned. I my thread I didn't assume anything, I asked a simple question. Not sure how I was trying to win anyone over either. I stick up for my friends and that's who I was posting about. I wasn't trying to get in the middle of his "communication" efforts either. Those users couldn't PM and if they don't have his email they can't email him.
If I posted my thread in the wrong spot then that's the only thing I did wrong there. EJ is trying to make me look bad and that's not a good example of a Member Relations person. -_-
Yes way too much >__>
you jump to the conclusion that i assume

Yes from time to time I do. I'm no exception :P
When you assume you make an ass out of you and me.
Get it! ass/u/me
I'm sure that's really old. :P
Anyway, I do assume and jump to conclusions a lot.
