Same here. I am less judgmental than I was a few years ago, but there's a looooong way to go still. Nobody is judgment free, anybody telling you that is full of it.

I have to pull back sometimes and check myself. You never know people's stories.

God yes. I really tried not be. I used to think I was the most openminded person in the world. I'm still pretty open but some stuff I just can't tolerate. I think we all have to make judgments at some point.

not as much as I did before. I think its human nature

I'm the most judgmental person I know.

It can be but if we didn't make judgments, how would we decide what is good or bad for us? I guess I try to make informed judgments.

Depends on their sex and how many folks they slept with. (stepping slowly away from this thread.....)

i do. a lot. but i think it's only natural, really, as much as it's "not a good thing" and whatnot. it's sort of part of having an opinion. i realized quite recently how judgmental i can be of other people, especially those who i see as judgmental. it's really hypocritical of me, but i can't say i'll never do it again, because i'm a human.

Everybody judges other people. And those who claim to be the most open-minded are (in my experience, anyway) the most judgmental of all.

In all seriousness, of course I do. Who doesn't?

I love this thread!!!

No, I don't believe you are. I mean, you are not ann can't force them to believe as you do.

Steadwood said:

that's a very interesting question to me. my theory has always been that once you decide whether you like or dislike someone, you've judged them, for better or worse. so yeah, we all judge, whether we realize it or not.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

exactly. you can't always help judging someone, whether it's logical or not. well, maybe you can, but i'll be damned if i know how.

Steadwood said:

Exactly.

It's all I have to say.

Steadwood said:

ok... getting to know people to formulate an opinion I don't really equate with judging, but I see what you're saying... I'm still careful not to put off negative stuff on people and right away put them in a box...

This is probably where the most judging needs to happen

Making judgements is not always a negitive

i think its why i was put on this earth

Not always are our first impressions right or do people neatly fit into our expectation. If we assume things because we think that goes according to type, we can be so wrong, yet at other times sooooo amazingly right it isn't funny, or maybe it IS funny

I have a friend who fits into an "aussie" stereotype so much so, when I described her to my husband, he said let me guess what her 2 children are called, and he got it right without ever having met any of them.

I do
A lot
