Ever been too quick too judge someone before actually finding out what their really about, Then find out you misjudged that individual...Does this happen to you often and what do you do about it?

I have done it a lot of times.....now I try to get to know the person first before I decide anything...and it's always based on their actions....and I have often become good friends with people I misjudged as well after finding out they weren't the person I thought they were...and it also worked for me in reverse..where I get to know someone and think they are a good person and then I find out they aren't....
This person has a big ego and i wanna try and approach this in a different way because i can tell they will tune me out..and I can't ignore it because I have to be around that person everyday?

No, it hasn't happened to me OFTEN but, of course, I have mis-judged someone..... I'm only human. It would be ridiculous to say I never have, I would then be the only one in the world not to have done so, don't you think?!
The key is to learn from it and attempt (and, yes, still maybe fail from time to time).... but ATTEMPT to not make the same mistakes again...?? I am not flawless, by any means, one can only try one's best.... yeah?

Sounds like you need to go about this slowly, small steps at a time to regain their respect maybe.
mbcasey: Happens to me all the time. I have dealt with this crap all my life, but what the hell?
how do you go about handling it...do you sit and take it and try your best explain yourself as best as possible or do you dont give a damn and move on??

I will explain myself once...if the person doesn't get it...so be it...I have been in your shoes too of being misjudged....and people will think what they want to think sometimes because they are narrow minded...I would move on...It's not up to you to prove anything....

Yes I have, but try not to voice my judgements to often. I generally take my snap judgements and compare them to other times I have made similar judgements. I then back track and re-evaluate.
Though some of my judgements are boiled down to a generalization. Like, can work w/ this person - can not work w/ this one. Those are usually right.
shipoker58: no one ever does that on this site. Maybe in real life it happens, but not on CS
Hey Ship! How's it going?
Hi Lucky. Apologize, explain why you did what you did, and move on. They'll either accept it for what it is or hold a grudge and you have NO control over that.

lucky200761: Yeah thats what I initially thought, but i had hoped someone could relate to me and find a quicker and faster way of solving the problem
Does this person know you have mis-judged him? If so. could you face him and tell him that you have done this. but later realized that you made a error in judgement and tell him now that I know you better, I can tell how wrong I was.
If this person does not know, than just be yourself, be nice, but don't over do it.
