STop Judging

Hi, Toni, you can stop them! The only way to get rid of them is not to pay attention. There are such people and this is not a question of races or believes. They just have such characters. You can't make a dialogue with them and you can't stop them from judjing the others. I call this "one way thinking". They don't accept suggestions and think that they have the right opinion. The solution is to avoid them, as simple as that.

I have been reduced to tears many times due to people judging me, and even if I told the truth, they told me I would be lying and stuff,very nerve-wracking, for sure. I'm me - Elizabeth of Canada. That's it. Now I'm starting to get thick skin, so if a person don't accept me for who I am, then there's nothing I can do about it. I also don't judge other people either. I think as productive citizens of society, we have a duty to treat others with dignity and respect. And you know what? It's okay to agree to disagree on beliefs and lifestyles. Ultimately, we are all going to decide how we want to live ourselves, NOT other people! :-)

Well said! If you don't have anything nice to say-don't say anything at all I always try to keep an open mind-even if I don't always agree-I always like to hear other people's ideas and beliefs-sometimes you can learn things from them.

That's right. We should stop judging other people's opinion, or which is even worse, judging other people just because they have their opinion we do not like. I feel from your lines somebody hurt you by judging you because of your opinion. As you very well said, he/she acted high and mighty. Is not that the expression of arrogance? Only narrow-minded people lacking self-knowledge think that high of themselves. It is the best to avoid such people as much as possible. And give a good laugh at them with a faithful friend of yours.

When you are trying to judge someone, please evaluate and mirror yourself first. We should respect to each other especially in the different racial. This is how my country has established a harmony society. You have the right to voice up. We are in the democracy countries. At the same times, other people can challenge you by having a debate.

We are all unique, we all think differently and we can have different opinions to others, it is not to say who is right or wrong but whatever we think we go with, but that is just our opinion. We should not judge others just because they do not share the same opinion as we do. I am like you, i will not insult anyone or cause a problem or get into an argument unless they create this first with me, but again it just boils down to the fact that we share different opinions on things. I think that when it comes to the fact that we do start to judge people it shows how bad we ourselves are. I guess it would depending on what type of judging though. YEars ago i met a wonderful sweet woman, very caring loving happy and thoughtful, she could not and would not hurt anyone, i thought (JUDGED) that her parents would be the exact same really, well silly me, they were the complete opposite, they had never met me but when they did they were so very insultive and higly critical of me, so i guess they also judged me, shame people don't really get to know someone first before coming out with negative and hurtful comments.

That is very true I hate to be judged by other people myself. It has happened though. I try my best to overlook them and avoid them. It gets old after awhile though

same here pal. these days i meet this kind of people. i get annoyed, but somehow i just ignore them. my bf always reminds me not to be affected by the people i dont find important in my life.

As much as possible, I try not to judge. But there are times that people does things that makes you judge them. I sometimes see myself judging others due to the fact that I experience bad things that they do to me. Otherwise, if they do not do anything unpleasant to me then I wont say anything or people wont be able to hear anything from me.

me too i dont like when people start to judge others just bcs they have a different opinion. like when they say my religion is the right and yours is wrong. i hate that bcs everyone has the right to choose their own religion. also about races we are not all looking the same faces so we deserve to be respected. is ok if we are different its differences that make the world interesting.

I don't think that we are the best persons to judge anyone. Most of us believe the same thing and avoid such persons who judge others and pass compliment about others. There is a saying that the persons who live in houses made of glass doesn't throw stones at other's house completely fits this discussion.I believe that none of us are complete, perfect and so blessed that we can judge others or pass compliments regarding others. But here I need to mention one important thing and that is sometimes criticism makes us strong and bold.

I suppose we cannot avoid encountering 'high and mighty' people who thinks they know everything as they are all around. I often get tempted to put them in their place but then...doing so would do nothing good. So I let them be. I make excuses to leave their company rather than go into a futile and lengthy argument. Although, i must admit, i really simmer inside. Yes, we do need to respect each other and know that people do differ in opinions.

I am absolutely like you. I hate people who always take direction to other people to do with him. We are living in a freedom world, we don't want anyone to direct us to do this, not to do that...

I don't mind such judging people . You shouldn't mind them , too. They are usually low-lifers that don't have anything better to do , that criticizing and commenting other people's beliefs , lives , looks. Turn your head and back to such people and continue living your life.

Yes, you have a right to your opinion. Hover, I believe that I, too, have a right to my opinion, even if it differs from yours. I don't care about the color of your skin or your social status. I care about where you live only in that how it has shaped your thinking.

Well, don't be hate someone if they say what their opinion is. Because as you said we are in democratic country and all are having the right to express what we have in mind... Opinion should not diminish the capacity of one person but this will give us an idea on what the reality is all about

It's amazing the amount of judging that occurs right here on the lot, as well as online and in life in general. I've been viciously attacked before online to the point of having to make reports to local authorities for such behavior. It's really sad that people can behave in such a manner and yet try to state they uphold democracy. It's always baffled me when people can in one breath claim to be a loving follower of the Divine and on the very next breath be so mean to another sentient being. I think the only thing that can help to solve this is to stand up for the rights of others the moment we see judgmental behavior. If we ignore it, or gloss over it we are then allowing said behavior to continue. If we stand up for it we are letting those who are judgmental and mean that we will not tolerate or accept their behavior. Namaste-Anora

There are many people in this world that want to change us. They want us to think as they do, do what they do as it it "the only adecuate way". Those people are all over the world and every family has a couple among its members. I think we have to flee from them as there´s not a single posibility of exchanging opinions. They only hear their words and they don´t understand the meaning of the word "respect". I know a couple of people like that in real life. I don´t see them often, but once in a while I do at big gatherings. I talk about the weather with them. And I refuse to get into something deeper. I quickly excuse myself and go elsewhere. It´s not worth to be a subject of their judgemental and stupic words. Happy posting!

Nice picture. Um... well unfortunately, freedom of expression works both ways. Not to be trite, but you need to get over that. If you have the freedom to express your opinion, then equally someone else has the freedom to express their opinion about you. Wouldn't it be nice if that wasn't the case? Were we all could express our opinion without anyone else being able to comment? :) But we both know that isn't how it works. And until we have a dictatorship like Hugo Chavez, to go around shutting down those with opposing views, we will simply have to deal with it, yes? I tend to look at it with different eyes. When I'm talking to people I know and care about, then I have expectations of mutual understanding and acceptance. But when I am around strangers, I simply say my opinion, and if they judge, I ignore it. They are strangers. Who cares? Let them say their opinion, and if they don't like you, oh well. Ignore them. It's just an exchange of ideas, right? :D Be well!

of course, i agree totally with you toniganzon, judging other people is a very bad action especially when we all know that nobody is perfect. Everyone has their own strength and weakness. When someone stabs you, you might stab it back? no.. thats also wrong also, because it only create a satisfaction to the person who stabs you. So you know what you should do.
