I believe it is very commonplace for people to cast judgment when the individual presents himself in a less than flattering light. Those that display some measure of decorum or intellect are often afforded more latitude and it isn't always deserving. Oftentimes the well spoken and seemingly polished person is the very one you should avoid. In some cases the victim didn't ignore their instincts but simply allowed themselves to be disarmed by making gross assumptions that inevitably lead to grievous errors in the long run. In short they're looking askance at the flawed individual and never recognize the wolf in sheep's clothing.
I agree.
I personally feel that people who seem to have an overly good grip on life and seem overly balanced all the time are usually either hiding something or bottling something inside. And to me that is a warning sign. I am lucky enough to know people who've found a good balance and have a good flow going on in their lives, but even in their lives there are insecurities, turmoils and set-backs from time to time. Someone who is always in control and never experiences negative feelings makes me raise my guard.
And I just feel compelled to add that I also am honored to know people who struggle with mental challenges who in my eyes are more together than I feel myself to be. Those people have faced their challenges and actively work on healing themselves and are to a certain level open about their struggles.
But I do think sometimes some people who are not all together are just really good at building a beliavable front which may fool a lot of people. I have met a person like that in an old work place it was an educational experience which also taught me a lot about my own un-balanced side.
