As my kid likes to point out, 'everyone judges...'
As one that's worked very hard both to own my judge-y ways and at the same time, to work beyond being judge-y, I think she's right.
The snarky jokes about a coffee order. The poking comments and left-handed compliments that feel icky but are said in jest and if you get overly sensitive than suddenly you're the ass.
Mostly, I think we aren't even aware that we're being judge-y and that is what I've tried to be more conscious of.
And it's not easy, at least for me it isn't. I try to remember compassion and that being in someone else's business is none of mine.
When I check myself and what I'm feeling, there's almost always something else going on. It's about me, being present and not stuffing away the icky emotions.
It's ok to not click with someone. It's also ok to not like one another. What I have a problem with is when I choose to skim along the surface, looking no further than an assumption, what I think I know.
