How will you select whom you will allow in your network? What criteria do you use? I typically would not place filters on an Internet site, except if it was abusive or invasive behaviour. I'm a very open-minded and adventursome person and I truly believe that everyone has good in them - until they prove me wrong - and some have (like the ex) LOL!
Do you knowingly/unknowingly applying filters and judgments to people who contact you?
Great question - if you are speaking of the Internet accounts - I would say no. However, if you are speaking of personal contact - I would say yes. People can get very guarded around others for various reasons. Take, for example, if two teenagers are talking in a school hallway about their weekend plans and a teacher enters the hallway, they are going to either shift their conversation or speak in lower tones. I engage executives on a different level that I engage a peer or direct reports - the conversations are very different at times. Conversations with the executives will be filtered in a verticle conversation.
Do you assess and/or judge others based upon the way they communicate with you?
To be honest, I used to. Then I started to understand that everyone has their redeeming qualities and when you expose those qualities, they can really shine. There are other considerations in the way people communicate, culture, religious beliefs, environment, etc.
