Do you find that your more judgemental with age?

No I don't think I'm starting to get more judgemental. Just the opposit. I think that everybody has their reasons to tell or do something. I don't know what's in somebody's heart so I restrict myself to judge people.

On the contrary I think I’ve become more accepting and ignoring of other’s faults as I grow older. My mom was always a stickler for perfection and I’ve grown up watching her criticizing everybody around…it kind of affected me the opposite, in the sense that instead of being critical myself, I could somehow feel that it did not really help us in moving ahead with friends and family and others in general. Criticizing people never really made them change themselves and after a point of time, people would actually be scared of opening their mouths in front of mom (very sad indeed as otherwise she’s the most helpful and selfless and gullible, if I may add, person I’ve ever known) and would even avoid inviting her to family functions…she’d always make some comments and spoil the situation! So in hindsight I guess that affected me pretty bad so I was always very open to people’s faults…I mean to each his own and I am not perfect either! But do I like people criticizing me? Passing judgments on my actions without knowing the complete story? No I don’t…so same applies to others too.

In some ways I think this is the Truth partly because you tend to always think everything should always be just so, and if people are not like this then there is something wrong with them. I know personally a lot of times it could be Race, Religion, etc. and many times I think personally a person needs to step back and think what if it was me. Yes, there are people out there that deserve to be judged harsh etc. but if you learn to relate with people first before judging anyone the world will be a much better place out there for sure.

I remember when I was little I would listen to my parents,and television would influence me like I would watch the show Walker Texas Ranger and it influenced me to want to help people,and then when I got older my friends influenced me and so did teachers,and now it is myself that influences me,and I can honestly say I think being judgmental does come with age,and the older you get the more you are going over peoples actions with a fine tooth comb looking for error,and I know it is happening to me the older I get,I love you with all of my heart and soul.

Hi, Not at all, on the other hand I feel that with age and experience you are able to analyse better and be more open minded about things.I have seen it in my mother and my grand mother who took any issue in their own stride and were able to be impartial and without being judgmental. I feel I too have become more open minded and less prejudiced about certain things and am more open to suggestions and am willing to forgive and forget more easily now than before.But again , I guess, it depends more on one's own personality and life circumstances ...all the best and have a great day

Hi SomeCowgirl! Glad that you're back. I wouldn't say that I've become more judgemental. As I've always considered myself very judgemental even when I was young. But what I do, is I try to keep it within me as much as possible. If I find somebody not worth my time, I just try to avoid him/her. Unless of course something unexpected forces me to change my opinion on somebody, it would pretty much stay that way.

I really try not to be. and I really dont pay attenton some times. But I do know thaqt sometimes just get thaqt feeling that something not just right with a person and I get away as soon as I can

I am less judgemental as I grow older.As such I always feel thAT what each one does is one's own affair and life is too short for me to worry about or criticise others.But I just cannot stand it when others come on to me in a big way or criticise me.It defies my fundamental principle of 'each to one's own'.So, to your question I would only say that it is the reverse as I grow older moreso because I see my elders and some contemporaries of mine becoming less and less tolerant and more judgemental.

I can't speak for everyone but for myself, I would say that I am less judgemental with age. Maybe it's because the years sometimes put you on the sides of the fence that you never thought you would be. Maybe it's because as I grow older, I become more tolerant and understanding. Once our personalities are not being molded by others, life steps in.

nobody is more judgemental but the when you work hard judgment will give good place . i like your topic reply me so we talk forther

Not judging here, but shouldn't it be the other way around? Certainly we are more discerning but with age should come wisdom, patience, and compassion.

your conclude is all right for me . when I was a child ,my impression is formed by the world around us . I can not judge . I have not good judgemental . But when I gromn-up,I have good judgemental . for my expericence is increasing. besides all of it is denpendent on whether I have had enough sleep and if I have eaten enough too.

...Hey there SomeCowgirl, I think just the opposite for me. When I was younger I was very quick to decide how I felt about certain things and what people did or didn't do. I would take a long time to change my mind once I made it up. Now I take longer, I consider more factors, and look at all sides. In my younger days, my side was the only side I gave deference to in judging someone's actions. I certainly have become more tolerant, and think that people are, including myself, very susceptible to all kinds of forces. So I leave room for possibilites of bad or improper decisions by all, which can result in unforseen consequences, which we all could regret. Take it easy.

hi first! no, i don't think i get more judgemental with age, because i have never been such a person. I don't like to judge other people about their actions and about that what did they say, and I also don't like to be judge, when I know i am right and it is proofed. Now I am 21 and I think even when I get 41 I will still not be more judgemental to others!

It is possible that in some ways we are more judgmental as we get older. In other ways I feel that I have more patience. All of it is actually dependent on whether I have had enough sleep and if I have eaten enough.

It depends on who it is about and what it is. I am finding that I am judemental where my granddaughter is concerned. I guess I have gotten more so over the years. But especially in her situation.

Hey Cowgirl! Really happy to see that you're still here! How are you! I do think that we get more and more judgemental with age! As we get older and hopefully wiser we learn more and seem to form more steadfast opinions. Some good, some bad, but definitely we do get more judgemental with age! And as you said, we start scrutinizing everything and everyone much more carefully! And as one of the "older folk" I think we also get alot more synical, I'm sorry to say! I know I find myself sometimes getting bitter sometimes and I think that has more to do with being jealous that I am not as young as I used to be and wish that that I was! And unfortunately you can't turn back the clock!

No I am actually trying to completely erase judgement from my persona. I don't like judging other people and nobody other really seems to gain anything from judgement. I don't understand how people can talk badly about each other the way they do. It keeps them so entertained for some reason but they are really just putting basically a blank disc into their mind. By keeping your mind focused on gossip and talking badly about someone that takes your mind off thinking. I personally think that judgment is ignorance.

I find I am less judgemental with age. It seems the older I get the more I feel live and let live is a good way to be.

Yeah, I think I have gotten more judgmental as I grew older. I suppose that is because through the years, we have learned so much from our experiences. As we grow older, we tend to rationalize things more therefore we tend to be more judgmental. Unlike when we were young, we took in whatever is happening around us without questions. But now we now have opinions so we often question actions based on our opinions.
