It's always the little things

Why is it that as of late, what bothers me and gives me cause to write are people?

It makes me feel superficial. :/

Anyway, I'm taking two online classes. For the most part, I like the discussion and the people I'm taking the class with seem to be interesting (though diverse, which adds another dimension to the discussion in a good way).

It's only the third week of classes, but there's one person that kind of annoys me.

I'm not sure if it's because I complete disagreed with one of her posts but the more I read what she writes, the more she feels unintelligent to me. I'm trying to step out of this way of thinking but my goodness, she cannot type (perhaps it's the grammar or lack thereof?). It adds to the sense that she's either very young, or simply kind of dumb.

And yes, I'm being intelligent-ist (or whatever) and in many ways, I'm discriminating against this individual because I feel like she is unintelligent and thus, has little to contribute to the discussions but I think I'm giving her too little credit.

It's just that she sucks at articulating what she's trying to say.

And perhaps it's because I didn't agree with what she said about my post and I felt like she did it in a poor way and maybe I'm somehow subconsciously offended at that.

Who knows?

Hopefully, I'll be able to get out of this kind of thinking so that I can be more accepting of all types of people and their viewpoints.
