Do you judge people on what they have done in the past or the way they are now?

Whatever we say and no matter how nice and we want to be perfect,I'm sure, almost all say: I do not judge anyone, but in the our selves we make a very strong and harsh tone. But I wonder if we are still able to make judgments fair, and we can thus correct image painters about people and situations. I do not think you can ever have all the elements on which judging from the situation. Do not you know and understand human behavior 100% or everyday life, let alone past situations,when people were more immature, or in the different situations more or less critical or sensitive, or the pressure on the shoulders of wonder them. I think it's unfair was judge a man only after past experiences, and much more unfair is was allow these lessons from the lives of your people was alter or influence your behavior toward them. Everyone has a past, and who is not a mistake, please pick up first the stone!

I try not to judge people but I am human and do it anyway. I am a first impression kind of person which is the worst way to be. I tend to try to make the best impression possible when I first meet someone for that purpose. I tend to make a judgement based on a first impression and stick with it. I can say that as I get older I am getting better about not judging and keeping an open mind about people.

More often i cannot do away assessing person with what they did in the past, especially if she/he did things repeatedly mistaken. It somehow difficult to lay the trust. I feel that you must guard the trust you will give to others. Though I am hopeful that certain person will be better in the present.

Sometimes it is just our human nature to judge people on their past. i try very hard not to do that. people do change and they can change for a better way of life. it is not fair to a person's future to judge them on mistakes of the past.

I try my best to be open minded and not to judge people for what they did in the past but for what they are now,but there are situations when there are certain limits I can't cross.For example,if I meet someone who seems friendly and then I find out that in fact that person spent time in jail for a serious crime,I don't trust him anymore because I don't believe people can change radically,but if their past mistakes aren't that big,I have some confidence in them,but not too much,since bad habits can always reoccur.

Me judge you from what i see you do frequently because that is you attitude and habit

You are right that a habit is a habit and it is difficult not to think of it. If that is positive attitude then it is better. But if its negative so it will not be easy on the person concerned. But never forget that a person is capable of changing from good to bad, and judging them would only worsen their situation. So better trust that there's always a good side in each and everyone, so dont be too hard on them.

I would like to think I judge the person as they are now, but to be fair and honest, there are some individuals that I would have to agree to have a long distance relationship because of certain past habits.

Learning from the consequences of our past actions, make us what we are today. From what I see, the results are all that matters.

I judge the people for what they are now. But i will also keep in mind the things that they have done in their past in case of maintaining any close relationships with that particular person. Because, even if they are currently good, the things they done in their past will reflect their character, and it will be a black mark for their character.

I don't ever judge anyone based from his past, specially if what i see now of him is good. People learn from their mistakes and changes for the better. But for those who never changes their bad habits or deeds, what a waste of life!

Our past has been a big factor as to what and where we are right now. I have known a lot of people whose past is terrible but I admire them as to how they are doing right now. They have been an inspiration to everyone now and is a living proof that anyone could change no matter how bad a person can be. Our past should make us grow and learn. So given these statements you can tell that I do not simply judge based on the past but on how they live their lives today.

I wish I could say I don't judge people based on their past, but I often do. At first it was really hard for me to trust my boyfriend for example, because he was known for being a huge flirt before he started dating me. Being a flirt isn't exactly a bad thing, but he would do it with any girl, even if he didn't find them attractive, so it made me think that he often lied to people about how he truly felt about them, which of course made me paranoid. I feel a bit differently now though. I can't think of any other instances where I met someone with an "iffy" past...but I still imagine I would have a hard time looking past whatever they did or how they used to be.
