I will judge you...

We all judge everybody else but judging doesn't always mean finding fault.

I certainly form impressions of people, some of which turn out to be wrong. I try not to judge (which is something different), but as you say, it's well nigh impossible not to judge.

Nice post. Judging someone is an act of forming an opinion about him. It is mostly based on our own experiences and knowledge and I also judge people around me as per my own wisdom. I may not be correct all the time but on the other hand, I am not wrong all the time. I more or less agree with the list which you have drafted. I am strictly against physical violence and hitting someone falls in that category. Ogling someone, touching someone inappropriately or passing lewd comments with ill intentions could also be termed as a mean act and such people could be disgusting and needless to say I detest such people. No one likes a person who has extramarital affair and is a cheater. If I happen to come across such people, I struck off them from my list. Sometimes, it so happens that we judge a person based on our experience with him, we do not try to look at all the aspects related to his life and background, in that case there is a possibility of our judgement going partially wrong.

I am pretty sure that we all judge, this does not mean that we have to jump to conclusions.

For certain situations I can give the benefit of the doubt, but for many of the one's you've listed, I rather doubt that many of us could watch without passing judgement of any kind.

It's fine to judge! Just don't let that carry over into becoming jury and executioner!!

I believe we are constantly in binary mode Porridge. For example, should I lift this finger and put it on keyboard or not. The choice is being made every fraction of second and being judgmental is merely an extension of it. But as Wordazza said...as long as you don't go overboard, everything is fine.

I read this discussion yester night. but could not reply due to other things I was involved in. So I bookmarked it and glad that I am here now. Judge me anyways, if you wish. If I get you right - Here is my take - Not until long ago, I did judge and not only the 6 criteria you mention, but many more. However, as I aged, I realized that everyone has a reason to do something - good or bad. And I also realized that someone does not do a thing until s/he thinks it is right for him/her to do it. Now, the definition of right or wrong is subjective and varies from person to person - and many more factors. As such, I have given up judging people. Judging people will only increase my pains not theirs - and I am under the delusion that I am better than others. [I know people around call me a weakling because of my thoughts, my not being aggressive and even me not coming in with an opinion, but at least I am happy about it). Today, I mostly go with - If you are good to me, fine. And if you are bad to me, then too, your call, I do not get hurt by your actions. I have learned to leave everything to the Superpower - you may call it God or Karma or anything else. During the 8 months I was on bed, I could have made too many enemies but the day I realized life, living, I am happy that I have found work arounds that work fine with me.

always try to understand people and to comply with their mneie still live in most democratic countries. But sometimes many people refer irritating and even aggressive but rather not pay much attention.

It's natural to form opinions from first impressions, as long as we don't act upon them before we find out if they are correct. As for judging people - yes I think we all do that, but we shouldn't condemn too.

I think I am to a point, though I try very hard not to be, but for some situations that are really not right, yes, I am.

Yes you are right, sometimes we judge and we also wrong in it and iys common because we take decession by it, sometime we also right in judge some people so i judged people......

You have raised an important point @daljinder Personally, I have been judgemental in several instances. But I often try to convey my thoughts in a manner that may not appear to be offensive. I mostly take the liberty of doing so with my close family and freinds - - though not for the same resons you've mentioned.

We ALL judge one way or another. Even if we really try hard not too. But I reckon some do it way more than others because they have a mean streak in them. Take my good "friend" for example ( she's so nice .....HA! ) When we used to hang out she'd judge everyone. I would just be walking and I'd hear her say "Wow she's so fat and ugly." Or "Wow, bet he has never had a girlfriend." I would be like "Dude, shut up!" She's cruel. As for me, yes I have had my moments with strangers and then I quickly think about how I actually don't know them but for some reason the ONLY strangers I seem to judge are those girls who go out in cold or hot weather, basically wearing nothing. ok maybe they want attention? Maybe their self esteem is so low they think that's how guys will like them? I don't know because I don't know them but SOMETIMES I feel like I can see straight through them. As if I know they are the types of girls who would try to steal your boyfriend or put you down for not being as pretty as them and I say this because I have encountered girls just like that. So I think the reason why I judge girls like that straight away is because I've been hurt by so many of those types. As for other complete strangers, I don't care. I don't care if they want to cover their bodies in tattoos. I don't care if they want their hair purple. Why should we care? It's their bodies. IF I see people doing the following as you mentioned then yeah, I'm going to be mad. I would still like to hear their side of the story ( if they wanted to discuss it with me ) but if they are doing wrong things like hurting other people for fun or being disloyal or lying all the time then....that wont sit well with me. Basically, yes I've had my moments but I still always sit there and wonder why they are the way they are.

It's human nature to judge someone. I draw the line on someone who tries to justify their judgment to defend their bigotry or hatred of others.

I will not judge you for saying that because it is the truth, it almost seem to be an inbred trait to judge people. We tend to judge others by our own standards, for example if we are always on time, we judge others who are late, eventhough their lateness was caused by factors out of their control. I try not to judge people, but know that is so hard to do.

I sort of grew up with the "live and let live" attitude, I try not to judge unless I could walk in their shoes. I am not happy when i see bad behavior and that behavior is often the reason I remove unpleasant people from my life..so yes, I guess I do judge but i refuse to live with bad behavior.

We'd be fools not to judge, it's how we form the friendships we do. If someone's look scares the bejeesus out of me I am not letting them in the front door. So shoot me, I just judged that person as someone I don't want in my house. They may not like my judgement of them but that's their problem not mine. This judgement thing I believe comes from the bible and such. I do believe that judgement speaks toward a persons heart and soul. In that regard I leave it to the almighty as that's his department not mine.

I must compliment you on your titles, they always leave some questions that you can't resist reading entire post.

I believe we all judge, ALL of the time. Being considered judgmental is how we are judged by others. And it is an ongoing process. When you have a friend for a long time then decide they are not the type of person you want to hang out with anymore, you have judged them, or yourself unworthy of your presence in their life. I notice that I judge myself as hard and as often as I do others. I just tend to be softer on myself. I notice that I will judge myself to decide whether to subject others to my mood for the day. Someone recently told me they thought I was one of the least judgmental people they know. I just keep my most harsh judgement to myself. I think I am rambling again. Anyhow, good post. =}
