However, the fact that we label people by their behavior and characteristics can end up limiting our curiosity about a person. Labels end up conveying something absolute. Life becomes much more stressful when you’re trying to negotiate your way through it by avoiding tasks you "can’t" do. Labeling others can make us feel more superior, but that’s not a good habit to get into. Life is much more stressful with a complex web of labels, and you’ll end up holding yourself and your potential back.
