Do you have to deal with judgmental people?

Tweet

So many people, so many opinions on who is right, who is wrong, why their way is better than yours, it goes on and on. Many judgmental people are never, ever wrong--not in their eyes. They think the path they are on is the only one that matters, and that you are a fool if you don't follow their advice. Life doesn't work that way. What works for one person, often doesn't work for another. Not one person is completely like another, we all have our own ways of dealing with life's ups and downs. In the end, we have to do what we feel is right, and what works for us. Recently, a distant relative has taken it upon herself to ''advise'' me about my son's medical problems, and all the issues that go with a long illness and recovery. This is a person that is always right--and no one else's opinions matter. She has called and emailed me until I finally snapped. I blocked her on my phone, and I blocked her on my email, too. She has been married 4 times, the last husband left her a lot of money. She has a son who is a drug addict, and the only thing she has going for herself (besides her looks, she is pretty) is money. She is very well off and she could probably purchase a small country, but that's beside the point. People run when she comes into a room. She is toxic and terrible and will immediately tell anyone nearby what is wrong with them and how to fix it. I realize she is over the top toxic and judgmental, of course we all know people who are bossy and think they are always right. Judgmental behavior does absolutely nothing to build relationships or be helpful. It only builds resentment, and eventually we remove these people from our lives for the sense of our own peace and well-being. How about you, do you back off from judgmental people? picture from Pinterest.
