You judge. I judge. We judge others. They judge us. We all do it.

Why do we judge? It’s a habit in most cases. It can start as simply a way to bond or connect with people. Have you noticed when you talk about someone else, most people will gladly chime in. I’m guilty as charged.

Judging hurts other people, makes you feel worse about yourself, perpetuates stereotypes, can lead to losing friends, damages your health/happiness, makes you less open to new experiences, and sends negative vibes into the world. Judgment of others is a reflection of our own insecurities. When I have judged others, I feel badly about it after. I don’t feel good about myself…not even for a second. And I certainly wouldn’t want to be judged because I’ve always believed in the idea of treating others how I would want to be treated.
