This is especially true in regards to anything negative in our past. We are constantly looking for that to happen again, as if somehow because something simply happened once that it could occur again. I am always reminding my daughter not to let her past create her future. Even with meeting new people I find this very true for myself, immediately assessing them so to speak based on others in my past who were similar to them. I'm much more conscious of this now, but still find myself doing it.
