Labels......

[poltr1]

I often hear people using one or two words to describe themselves, like, "I'm pro-choice", or "I'm Christian", or "I'm high maintenance" or "I'm painfully liberal', or "I'm Scandinavian.", or "I'm a Republican". These are labels. We use them on ourselves, and on others. I know I tend to categorize people based on the labels they use, and I'm probably not the only one. My question is.....do these labels *reflect* our personality/attitude/behavior, or do they *dictate* them?

*giggles* I use two words to describe me...I'm ME! Labels affect us if we allow them to affect us, but sometimes we can't help it...I know I do that too...it's hard to change how we act sometimes...
