I’ve been slowly giving people a chance and have found myself much better for it. So far its let me be more in the moment and just have more fun in general. Im not 100% over it but little by little this habit has been getting chipped away. Now if I can only work on being less judgemental about myself…

How I did it: I found that passing judgement on others can happen without even realising that you are doing it. I had to become very aware of my natural thoughts and reactions to particular things or events that were taking place in my friends lives. I began to challenge my own thoughts and whenever i began to be critical or a bit "high and mighty" with regards to something that someone had done or said i would remind myself that we are all… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got to know some people better, just through things I was doing, and I realised that so many people were actually so different to most people's perception of them. And gradually I've just realised that every single person is an individual and has something awesome to offer you and the rest of the world. There's no limit to the amount of people we can let in our lives, so why not embrace the wonderful in every single person we meet? Read how I did it…
How I did it: For me, the first step was to focus on respect. To think about respect a lot. What is respect? What makes it so crucial? To observe it in me, in others. To define the little things that seemed disrespectful to me and to understand why. This way, I built up a solid vision and meaning of respect in my life.Of course, I make frequent mistakes, but that is always because I fear something and try to hide it to myself. The clue is to find what … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I started noticing how often I made snap judgements based on how people looked. It was nearly every individual I saw. I decided I was not going to judge people anymore but realized after a little while that it was very ingrained. Next I decided to focus on WHAT people were doing instead of how they looked to see if my initial judgements were accurate pictures and discovered that often they were not at all.I also tried to notice how often … Read how I did it…

How I did it: It was actually sort of a side affect of my growth and maturity over the years. I began to meet people who were completely not what I expected, I made a million mistakes, learned a million more lessons and realised that its all crap. We're all just out there trying to do the best we can. Read how I did it…

been very impartial today, providing arguements from both sides of the coin but still being very assertive. is this just the beginning or just a one-off? we shall see!
It seems like there were times in my life when I was able to enjoy other people more, for whatever reason. I believe this led me to be less judgemental, and I’d like to be less judgemental.
Eek! Still really have to work on this. I guess I mean stop thinking the worst about people straight away and learn how to sort out how I feel without getting really upset first.
I have been super judgemental ever since I was a kid. My mom is very accepting of everyone, but I’m like a mini version of my dad, the judge. I’m not happy with this aspect of my personality, and am trying to learn the line btwn having opinions and passing judgement.

Judgements are the main source of emotional upset and dysregulation. I know this and completely agree and believe this. Yet, I am very judgemental <- see look at that judgement. Let me correct that. I use judgements often… there thats better. I had been good at noticing but fell off a bit. SOO let me get back on the horse and BE AWARE of my judgements.
Danny N is wondering why he doesn't have more concrete goals
It doesn’t get me popularity – it hasn’t brought me happiness. I’m sure people are judging me but sometimes it’s really good to turn the other cheek and just know you’re doing the right thing – YAY
like with my antisocial post, i dont like people, especially dumb people…but i realize that i am too quick to judge..i kind of like it, it makes me shrewd in a business-sense sort of way, if that makes any sense, but it also makes me a bitch, and when i meet nice people and i befriend them, and then they learn of my judgemental side, they think i’m mean, when i’m actually very nice..on the outside anyways…i dunno…
Everyone does it. It’s in human nature. But does that make it alright? So, doubling as a new years resolution, I’m going to try to judge people less.
