5 Ways to Respond to Judgment
"Our brains are so complex and our minds are so active that we do end up thinking about a lot of nonsense. Included in this nonsense is that we tend to care too much about what other people think and what we think they think we should do. It prevents us from being ourselves, from exploring who we are, and from evolving into whom we are meant to become. It also prevents us from living our lives exactly how we yearn to. The reality is no one can tell you what you should do or how you should live your life or who you should be or become. You are the only one who gets to design your life and write your life story exactly how you want it.

Responding to Judgment
@comfortableNight4463
I feel it's necessary to see where the judgement is coming from and for what purpose, if it comes from a place of (actual) concern and helps me see any areas of improvement, I'd be open to see things from a different perspective and understand where might a person is coming from. I feel it makes a lot of difference of how one phrases their thoughts, or what kind of body language they use.
Also what exactly is the judgment on, "you are so (a 'body shaming comment disguised as 'concern' on physical appearance)" okay?? what is it to do with you? Such comments never help anyone. So it's best people keep their opinion to themself when it comes to things like these, mainly personal, or something not within one's immediate control. 😊
If it's a judgment of some kinda work, I do, for instance *if* I were a content creator and my work was on display to the world to see and share their thoughts, I'd be open to their thoughts and opinions "on my work", again, not on me, or anyone/ anything else related to me. Fine line difference between sharing honest and constructive opinions and tearing someone down, I feel.
Great topic to reflect on, thankyou for sharing, Night!
