i know we cant avoid ourself checking out what we can say to other people specially if we are with our friends sometimes we do it for fun, like in our country we normally see old forreign guy with too yougn girl being married and we normally judge them that the reason why the girl marry the old guy its because of money, then if saw a pretty lady with not that pretty guy we also talk about it or if we saw a girl with oo much make up and other stuff that we saw that we realy cant avoid talking about it. i mean i know we cant avoid to do it specially if we really saw something from them though sometimes i also think that theres also some things in me thats not really perfect. so what do you think are also the same person if your with friends.

I agree with you totally:D well,sometimes I will unconsciously judge others before I know it. I'm very aware that judging people is not a good habit. But somehow, the more I try to suppress it, the judgemental mind will surface more. So, every time I judge someone, I would add another sentence to myself, I must not judge him, he have his reason probably. Frankly speaking, I don't like to judge people. Why? Because I would not want people to judge me back. So, if I dislike ppl judging me before they even know me, I should also not judge someone else. Even if they do judge me, I would not judge them for it would make me feel bad. So haha. Anyways, as long if you do not have a bad intention then it's okay I guess. Example, the young girl with older men. Just say, maybe it's love. I dont care though. Haha

We can all judgemental but we have to think positive in a way that it will not hurt others feelings. It's so easy to judge but let's not try to harm others feeling.

I often find myself thinking really mean or judgemental thoughts, but I think it's also kind of natural even though I try to make myself be more open minded or least make myself mind my own business. It does seem fairly common, though.

I think that we all automatically make judgements about people who are around us, but the real test comes when we choose whether we're going to act on those judgements or not. For example, I hate people who have children just so that they can get money from the government, but when I see people who are doing just that, I have to judge them on the situation that they're in at the time rather than something that I probably don't actually have all of the information about that I would need to make a full and informed decision about that person.

I think everyone is judgemental to some degree. some may not openly say things but they will look and the thought will run through their minds. I am not sure why.. is it just human nature to judge .. is it something lacking in our own lives that we seek to find others we can say is worse than us? do we judge them to make ourselves feel better? if i see an old man .. ok a man my age with a young girl my first thought is not she is his girlfriend because i have daughter myself.. but if i see them close together then i think wow he is lucky :) personally there is nothing wrong to judge .. because its your thoughts and ideas and values but there is a problem when you try and push your thoughts onto others and make them feel they are wrong because you judge them so..

I wonder what the fun is of pointing at people and making up the reasons why they are together. Did you ever ask those people why or what? Besides of the fact you perhaps me wonder how or what I find it more disturbing you do these kind of things if you are together with your friends. You feel a better person, or you all do, if you are together? You never wonder if people will say these kind of things about you? I hope they will have more mercy with you as you have with them. But most of all I hope you will grow up soon. Are you sure that if you have a boyfriend you don't are to take if he is jobless or a tramp from the street or someone with skyhigh debts? It's also clear to me you can't see the beauty inside a person, otherwise you would not make such remarks about an pretty lady with an ugly guy.

I am not a judgmental person at all. I take people for who they are and accept them as I would want them to accept me. We are all different in this world with different likes and personalities. The world if full of people and diversity. We should really learn to practice acceptance because we as humans know how it feels to be hurt or maybe even discriminated against for various reasons.

I really think most of us do judge others even if we don't have enough facts to back our conclusion. I know I shouldn't, and I try to stop myself from doing so, but I guess some judgments I've made about people are usually based on past experiences I either had or a friend had. But I must admit sometimes my friends and I also do it for fun. Or we're just sour-graping because we envy an old guy marrying a young and very attractive woman :)
