Indignancy and Over-generalisation (how do you overcome?)

[Endearing lil Influenza]

Please don't get mad at me, I know I am wrong... but that is the reason I'm asking for help

I have the tendency to hate certain people before I even know them... and at times I wish for punishment to come upon people who I never met... just because they have some characteristics similar to those who have hurt me

for example, a long time ago, there were two bipolar people whom I became really close friends with... but it was when I trusted them most that they deliberately hurt me, and hurt me severely too and I was forced to turn away from them because it was too painful ... it then became hard for me to interact with bipolar people... deep down I know my prejudice is wrong but still I couldn't help the negative feelings... it had taken me several months of effort to overcome the feelings... now I have several bipolar friends... each of them are very unique individuals ...

but then I still have problems with other sorts of people... I have an automatic hatred for women who publically brag about their beloved babies... that's because ther was once a woman like that... and she hurt me really badly simply because she thought I stole her friend...

and then I also have negative feelings towards people who are controlling, or manipulative, judging/critical... I have negative feelings towards black people too

I don't want to be this way

Go to God with them one by one. Don't be suprised if more of these people start coming into your life. How else will you learn? Kinda' like asking for patience ... know what I mean?

It's natural to feel like that if you've been hurt - I tend to like certain people and really can't stand others because I've been hurt by a certain type of person !! It's something that takes work to get through
