Are You Judgemental?

Is it important to you to try to be non-judgemental?? I am thinking about both appearance and behavior. I am still working on not being repulsed by body piercings and some tattoos. I still haven't figured out why I am, and really want to get to a place that I can accept and look at the piercings and accept it is their body and their right. I also tend to judge on appearance but only that which one can easily manage..like nice clean combed hair. Behavior - I am trying to accept that everyone is doing the best they can with what they know...
 

IMO we all make a thousand little judgments every time we see someone or something as we go about our daily lives.

One of mine is judging the groceries I see in people’s carts or on the conveyor belt at the checkout.

IMO it’s normal and harmless until you start sharing those observations in ways that influence other peoples opinions.

I was very judgmental in my younger years but these days not at all. There have been times when I didn't have the full story and realized I was so wrong about a situation or person because I didn't have all the facts.
At my age I have no desire to delve into situations or judge who is doing what.
I'm to busy enjoying my life and pursuing things that interest me.

I most definitely am, Serenity.

I'm old-school/old-fashioned to the bone, so in keeping with my staunch and anal ways, I tend to be critical of many of today's ways.

Like yourself, tattoos, piercings all over, unkempt appearances and hygiene, oh yes, very judgmental of such I am.

Otherwise, and for the most part, so long as people leave me alone and give me a wide berth, I'm good, and the more I'm at home and away from others, I'm even better.
 
Yes. These days mostly directed towards ideological (hate political polarization especially) or religious fundamentalists. Also at people who cause others pain due to their refusal deal with their own. I can get pretty hard on myself at times too ...sometimes for being too judgemental. 🙃
 
I don't judge people's behavior which is more important to me than what they look like. But I do have trouble getting past all the tattooing that is considered the norm these days. So I guess in the spirit which the OP posted this I must be judgemental.
 
I agree with Aunt Bea, we all make little insignificant judgements daily, for the most part harmless unless you use them to influence others at the expense of the person or their actions being judged.

I've never really been a judgemental person at all, at a young age, especially in my teen years, I was around many different types of people, and learned that regardless of what they wore, whether they were sloppy or neat, etc., meant nothing in the quality of their character and the kindness of their hearts. It never has bothered me at all in the appearance department, if someone wants tattoos or piercings, that's their business, too petty to judge in my opinion.

I do judge people by their action in cases like animal abuse, those who harass others because of their race, etc. I have a very low opinion of people who are cruel to other people or animals, and that will never change.

Oddly enough I’m not very judgmental about people’s appearances. To me body tattoos, different types of clothing, piercings etc., adds to the uniqueness of our interesting world.
Im judgmental about people dumping garbage, how people care for their pets or how close a person is driving up my backside. Sometimes they even know how I feel about it due to my actions. 😬......Lol

In my later years now sadly I have become judgmental. I am not judgemental on appearance but I am on personality. I have always believed if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything. I get especially annoyed if someone says something nasty about a child.

That is IMO a judgemental opinion that would require or be helpful to modify. We all should be annoyed when anyone is being nasty to another..especially to a child.
