Do You Judge People? And If You Say No, Are You Sure?

Even when you try not to be judgmental, you can't help it. Sometimes judgments automatically form in your mind without conscious thought and you aren't even aware. When I do become aware of a judgmental thought, I tell myself to examine it and determine if it has any basis in fact or is it totally false? I have been known to revise my initial judgment to a more lenient stance.

Wow what a story. I try not to judge people. But I will admit I do it sometimes. I think its only natural. But I will certainly remember that story now when I start to judge. That was very inlighting.

That was an insightful story. I can say i donot try to judge people who i don't know. But somehow i do get the idea just by observing the other person, the mannerism, body language. And generally it's right. But i am open to change my opinion if i find that waht i though wasn'y true and that person is actually nice. I try to be nice, friendly. But people whom i know i have pretty good idea about them as i know about their good and bad habits. But i concentrate on good points as mucha s possible. I am also nice, freindly with them too irrespective of my likes and dislikes but sometimes it can get unpleasant if person really hates me so i avoid that person. I am very happy with myself to judge others as i believe one should love oneself and so then one is capable of loving others too.

I don't perjudge people. At some point we always do it with subcountious mind, but most of the time I like to kow them better.

You know this story could be a real eye opener. I would like to say that I have never judged people but that would just not be true, I know that I have a few times and I don't like it when I do this.

yeah i judge ppl but i dont know how fast..i dont think i judge on 1st impression..yeah if the 1st impression is very unsusal..then i will do that..but i will judge them ...i can t help but judge..i judge them by their look and how they act

you just brought tears to my eyes. I could just imagine those kids. I hate it when kids don't have a mother. I think every kid should have both parents, there must be a rule like that in God's creation book. I will always remember this incident and will try and never judge the other person ever again. Thanks for sharing it.

Well U have opened my eyes. It is the first time ever That I have come to think about I have rejected and Those to whom I have said no and those to whom I have ignored. Thank u Very much Madam. I do (or now did) not think about it at th efirst place and i never have judge or i should say tried to judge people around me.

I'd be absolutely horrified if I was that woman...I'd want to crawl under a rock. I do judge without even really thinking about it...it's probably a bad habit.

i dont i only judge people whom i know directly or indirectly and i will take all good things in them and i judge based on this good quality not bad quality.if he has some good quality and little bit bad i will avoid bad

I have to say that I do make a valid attempt to put myself in someone else's shoes and not judge them. I can't say that I always succeed. I'm human. But I think it's important that we all make the attempt, even if we fall short.

We always judge what we see, even if we think we don't judge people I don't think we can help it. I think in most cases it's Ok to judge people- as long as you are not ridgid in those judgements and accept that your judgements may be unfair or prejudiced , and are willing reflect upon and alter your opinions.

I have to admit, that I do judge people, hopefully the next time I am about to, I will stop and think about this story. thank you for sharing it with us.

I think everyone judges, some people are just more rude and obvious about it. I try really hard not to judge, but as our society has taught us, its very hard not to. I have a story to share...I am a single mother of three children all under the age of 3. 2 1/2 yr old twins and a 14 month old. I am in the middle of a divorce and have limited resources. I had very little money at christmas and had to take all three of my kids with me as I had nobody to watch them. Our last stop was at Target..they were all cranky and tired and the people were all crazy and in a hurry. I finally made it to the checkout and my normally very well behaved children were at their breaking point and I was nearly in tears. My son was fussing and whining a little...not screaming or anything. I was in line behind a young well, dressed pregnant woman. The looks she kept throwing my way were terrible. She had the most disgusted look on her face because my child was whining. Very upset at her rudeness, I politely asked her if this was her first. She said yes. My best smile pasted on, I responed..well good luck with your child, I'm sure it will be perfectly well behaved at all times. She huffed off. My point being after my long winded story is I feel the affects of judemental people alot now, and I am always trying to not be one myself!

Well its really bad that those kids lost their mother early.... n u r not aware of this so its not ur fault..... Some times we used to recklessly hurt others while our intentions is not that.......

I never judge people. Some people can't help the way they are. Like the man in the airport. Right away people thought he was a bad father, that his kids were uncontrollable and needed baths but he lost his wife. I learned along time ago not to judge anyone.
