JUDGEMENTALITY — TIME TO END!

First of all, let us know what is the so—called JUDGEMENTALITY. 

According to Merriam Webster:  (of, relating to, or involving judgment. a judgmental error. : characterized by a tendency to judge harshly).

In addition, If you say that someone is judgmental, you are critical of them because they form opinions of people and situations very quickly, when it would be better for them to wait until they know more about the person or situation (Collins English Dictionary).

So why do we need to stop the state of JUDGEMENTALITY? 

Judgments can have harmful and negative consequences (Santi 2018). 

They can get in the way of fixing problems, hurt other people's feelings when you don't need or mean to, and they can harm your own self-esteem and happiness.

We tell our teenagers that the mean judgmental comments come from jealousy and insecurities, yet we don’t recognize our own mean behavior and how it also stems from insecurities. Making unhelpful and overly critical comments is not only a manifestation of our own insecurities and self-esteem, but it can make our insecurities and self-esteem even worse. It can get to the point where you’re making so many judgments that it’s hard to feel gratitude, which is when the judgments become extremely harmful for your own happiness and well-being.

Research shows that being judgmental of others can negatively affect your self-esteem more than any outside force. If you’re critiquing others, you will also critique yourself, often even more harshly. Accepting and appreciating the good in others, whether it’s in their actions, appearance, relationships, etc., will help you accept and appreciate the good in you.

What to do to stop NEGATIVE JUDGEMENT? 

The key to stop making negative and harmful judgments is to train yourself to recognize the difference between normal opinions and negative judgments, and then cultivate a less judgmental mindset:

• Know the person you’re judging.    

• Know the impact of your judgment.

• Focus on the specific situation.

• Practice gratitude regularly.

• For every judgment, ask yourself, why does it matter to me? Why does this affect my life?

• Stay open to learning new things and know that many of your opinions should be changing.
