What do you do when people judge you?

People nowadays are very quick to judge. They believe in gossips even though they haven't talked to you yet or confronted you about the issue. Last month had been a very difficult month for me. There have been issues about me that I think are too much too handle and was so unfair. People judged me as a user and that I am a liar. What made me really sad is that even the other people I don't know said hurtful words about me. They quickly believed in the stories they've heard. And no matter how many times I explain what the truth is, they don't believe me anymore. They have judged me already. ANd up to now, it still hurts me. How do you deal with these kind of people? What do you if you were wrongly judged?

If you are not a liar,don't care what others think about you.My own brothers used to judge me as a boy who neglected his studies and was used to telling lies.I knew they were wrong,but at that time,being too immature, got deeply hurt.Then when my final year results were declared,everything was clear.I had appeared first.Later on my father too came to realize that it was not I who was a liar.it was my brothers instead who were liars and dishonest. Let people say what they like.Time will reveal the truth.Be true to yourself and the God.That's all.

I feel sorry of what you are experiencing right now, it's not really easy to make people believe who are blinded because of lies. Sometimes I wonder why it's most people if not all easy to believe in lies than the truth. In situation like that all you have to do is to pray to God that those people will realize that what they are doing is hurting you and that they are just believing some lies. Sometimes in life you don't need to explain many times you just let them realize that they are wrong of thinking that. The more you explain the more they won't believe at you.

yah right, there are really people who are like that so don't waste your emotion with that kind of people. Just please God don't please people because it's hard to please them.

Yes. I think no matter what you say or do and no matter how good you are to people, haters are always there. As the old saying goes, we can't please everybody.

There isn't anything you can do about those kind of people except have patience. The truth will come out in the end and when it does, they'll all be feeling ashamed. Hopefully they will also have learned their lesson. Other than that who are these people to you that their thoughts should bother you so much? Don't worry about them.

I hope when the truth comes out, they'll realize that what they did was wrong. And not do it again. People has limits also and they should value that.

Oh, cheer up! We can't please all people. You just have to be yourself. You don't owe them any explanation. If they don't believe you, then ignore them. Just prove them that they are wrong. Happy mylotting.

If thats the kind of people they are, you wouldn't want them around you. We need to be surrounded with people who do care for us, who do see our inner beauty and are on our side.

Thank you angelkarah and wolfie. Well, yeah I guess I just have to ignore them and surround myself with people who really cares and loves me.

I used to get upset at people's thoughts about me. I've come to realize now that it doesn't really matter at all what other people think. It can be unfair but really it is their opinion and not the truth. I hope you can realize this and ignore what ever they are judging you for. Words can cause pain, truthful or not. I suppose just try to over come this.

you are right echo, what other people think about you doesn't matter at all. Every thing is only between you and God. As long as you know the truth, as long as you are doing the right thing then ignore those people who misjudge you. We can't influence their thought for us. Sometimes even if we did the right and good thing there are really people who tried to pull us down maybe because they are envy or I don't know. Whatever the reason is, in this situation their rumors doesn't matter but your respond towards the rumors matters.

Hi blessed as for me, throu my experienced I don't care what they think of me, if they will keep on gossiping or saying bad words to me who cares, they are not me, I will not give any attention or anything that makes them happy to see me affected or lonely. I will put in mind that they are jealous of me, they have nothing to do and mind their own business.. As long as I know that what I'm doing is right , that I don't hurt any one , that I live according to God's law , that I 'm happy with my family and little real friends then who are they to hurt me..Don't give them the opportunity to destroy your life.... THey are only few false friend....you don't live through their appreciations and good words, you want them to hear praising you fakely? Then better hear what their horror hearts say.. At least you know them and be glad with that realization don't fall apart. silly you are, sorry to say that, they are not the one feeding you... Keep it up and stand yourself.. They are nothing....backbiting you? Then put them in your back, they will always be in your back and you are in front.. Got it my friend....happy week end and stress free with fake friends.

it s very annoying on my part when people judge me for my personality or something i never do. this really makes me mad though i remain patience. though, criticism could be a vital part of growing up since we could ,measure our strength and weaknesses. if the people who judge makes a wrong impression of me i try to correct it with myself and analyze the truth behind. in case seen some defects and they are right, then i would try to rectify my mistakes as earlier the better. though, there are times i could be judge by wrong people, it really hurt me and the most when it comes to my loved ones or those negative remarks from my loved ones. there are so call constructive criticism which are good to identify my mistakes and also destructive criticism which i hate the most because just like you mention they are omstly lies.

I've been patient with these people long enough but it pushed me to my limit. I tried to be calm and understanding. But it really affects me a lot and make me mad. They are entitled to their own opinions but sometimes it's just too much. Involving my family members I think would be extreme.

Similar thing happened to me last month and gossips about me are becoming very common these days. All because i have made new friends and the friends being girls. In the beginning even i struggled a little to cope up with them, i used to get angry, i used to become upset and keep pondering over it. but time being the best healer gave me patience and maturity to handle with it. i would say the best way is to not give a damn to the gossips. Even if the people whom you considered as close believe in them and start acting differently to you, just do not mind! If they really are your true friends, they would not have believed the gossip in the first place or they would at least understand their folly and would get back to you soon. So the best is to avoid it and enjoy with the ones who are with you in everything. Happy mylotting!

I think it has something to do with enviousness. I remembered that just like you, I started to gain more friends and came to know new people. That's the time that they started all the rumors and gossips. Do you think it has something to do with that? Are they envious that I'm gaining more friends than them?

Some people have this habit of judging others without really even knowing the truth of the situation. They only see what is outside, and never realize the reason for it. I do not want to judge a person coz I do not know everything about that person, the same way that I do not want to be judged. What do these people get in judging others? Pure gossip!
• Philippines
7 Sep 12
That's exactly the same question I have in my mind? What do they get out of it? It's not like when you gossip you'll earn money. It's such a waste of time. I just don't know their reasons why they love doing it.

You will suffer a lot if you concern so much other people's opinions. So just ingore them and go ahead to do something you'd like to. For example, watching a movie which you long-waited or swimming...

That's what happened to me. I keep on thinking and thinking and it only makes me miserable. I just feel sad and depressed. And maybe I'd just go out often and have time for myself and enjoy like what you said.

I know it hurts, really. I've been through that,still now. Usually I would cry and run away from those who like to judge. They just talk.Try to take it as a normal conversation, you don't have to pay for the things that you talk about, that's why people like to gossip. And trust me, they are not to mean to do that. They just have nothing else to do, and gossiping about others always easier. Understanding this is one thing, but being tolerant is another. So this is what I would do, take some time, be objective, see what yourself really are, evaluate yourself, find a score, then you know it yourself. Next time when comes people judging you, you already fully know who you really are, those words can't hurt you, cause they're talking another one, there's no comparison. Leave it alone and be who you really are.The more experience you have, the more you know about yourself. In the end, those judgement won't hurt at all.

It's just funny sometimes that they pretend to know you better than you know yourself. I've been understanding about the other people whom I really don't know at all but what actually hurts me a lot is that, some of them are my friends. Correction, close friends they are. Instead of them defending me, they were even the ones throwing insults on me.

You don't need to explain to anybody for as long as you are doing the right thing. Why would we? They are not the one giving us our food, they are not the one giving us salary. If they talk behind our back, let them do it. If they are happy doing it, be glad that you make other people happy by talking against you. You are a celebrity.

I like your outlook in life my friend. You have taken it on a positive way. You're right. I'll just let them do what they do. At least I'm making them happy.

Yes, you are true people easily judged. They don't bother to ask the other side of the story. It hurts and not easy to accept. But I think, if you will just be yourself continue doing what you think is right, as long as you are not stepping on other's shoe, they will realize that they are wrong.
• Philippines

They really don't bother to ask me if what they've heard was true. They just based their conclusion on just hearing one side of the story. It is so biased not giving me the chance to be heard.

i think them dumb.because there is no man who can declare he is perfect.i realy want to slap such pople.they dont look into themselves that who they are.if they can say that they are the most perfect hen they can but too there is a problem.perfect people dont judge others.
• Philippines

Yes, these people don't look at themselves first before they judge others. They think they're perfect and don't commit mistakes.

Judgmental people are always around and we cannot avoid them. Of course it hurts when we are misjudge by our actions and words. It depends on how the situation goes. If people spreading rumors/gossips that leads to destroying my reputation- that is another thing. but if the gossip/rumors is a nonsense thing, I will just ignore them and will never give the gossiper satisfaction by showing that I am affected.

I guess they're right in saying that the best thing to do when people are judging and insulting you is to ignore them and continue to be happy.

Better cheer up and don't get bothered by them cause it will make them happy. We can't really avoid those kind of people.As long as I know that what they have judged and said about me is not true,I don't waste my time to get bothered to those kind of people.I know myself better than them.I did experienced stuff like that so I have learned to know got affected by those people.They are not worth it of my time.
• Philippines
7 Sep 12
Yes, I think it will make them happier if they see that I'm really affected. So I'll just ignore all their non sense gossips. Thanks friend!

this is the nature of people, its very easy to judge people, but they will only understand when the same comes on them, never bother about them, i used to feel very sad about those, previously, but i learnt how to handle such things, never ever give them a ear, its purely waste of time, people used to think that i am very arrogant kind of person , when they didn't even talk to me at least once, but the same people came to me and said that , i am not at all like that, after they came to know me, and observing me, they told that , i am not at all like that, how they heard about me, instead i am complete opposite personality, only my problem was, i cant mix with people ,at once when i don't know that, i am not very talkative so, they have formed this opinion on me,but the truth was different, which they realized afterwards.

It's really hard to forget. Even now, if I remember what they've done, I get sad. And I have this small voice in my mind that says "I'll prove them wrong".

I share the same experience with you. When I was still new in my work, I had to deal with this one person that discriminated me in a major way. He talked on my back, said things to our colleagues against me, offended me in many ways and disrespected me big time by saying bad things about the university I went to. I mean, it hurted me a lot but I stayed on my foot. At first, ofcourse I wanted to take revenge to him by any means but then I realized that I will only be like him if I do it. That's why I took my silence and just cut-off any communication with this guy. Eversince then, I didn't talk to him. I really don't have anything against him anymore for this is kind of too long ago, I just don't want to converse with this guy anymore. My advise to you is to hold your ground off and just don't mind them at all. People will always have something to say against others, you're lucky because you're not one of them. They judge and you're being judged, it's sort of an advantage when you think of it. You're doing nothing against others while they are, so they're just pissing off their self. You just stay focus on what you're doing and remember that there will always be haters.

That also came into my mind. I want to have revenge. But I think again and realized that it will be a waste of time and effort. It's just so unfair when people do these judging but I guess it's their past time. They don't have any other things to do.
