Do you know someone that is called stuck up just because they have class? Are YOU called stuck up? I'm not quite sure what makes a person "stuck-up." I hope it's not because a person walks with their head high and has a lot of confidence (I always thought that was a good thing). I think that a lot of times people don't even think that they're all that (others do; that's why they always have something to say). Also, many don't put themselves on high pedestals above everybody else (that's just the way they are seen). We as people help create the "stuck up" image, when the person usually isn't even stuck up. They may be jus quiet, reserved, or even just having a bad day! Perhaps they just embrace the person that they are regardless of what any says or does. It's like we have made being confident and having standards seem a bad thing when it shouldn't be. I'm called stuck up because I walk with my head high and I have high standards for myself and I have a high confidence level. I don't think this is a good reason for people to be labeled this way.

To me, the term "stuck-up" defines a person who thinks that they are better than everybody else when the truth is the opposite of that. It's the person who looks down their nose on people and classify others as their "equal" or their "lower".
I believe that when you really are good at something (meaning people other than your friends and family members agree with you), then it's not conceited to say it out loud. For example : I'm a good piano player, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks that. The main thing is confidence. Which can be and often misconstrued as being stuck up or conceited. However, if you're like one of those bad wannabe American Idol audition contestants, then calling yourself amazing is just stupid. Personally, I think everybody classifies others - I think we do it when we make those judgments based on first impressions. It's, for lack of better words, a part of human nature to be a little bit stuck up. I just ranted on and on in this post. Feel free to ignore it.
