How do I stop being judgemental?

Try to keep an open mind, sometimes you have to push your opinions aside and imagine yourself in people's situation to understand where they're coming from.

It is natural to judge people, we all do it but if you’re doing it constantly in a negative manner then maybe you should put yourself in that persons shoes and imagine how you’d feel if you wasn’t them. You don’t know what other peoples life circumstances are and what they’re going through so try being positive rather than thinking you’re better than others.

Come to realize that everyone is different. Just because people do things differently than you doesn't make them any less of a person...Respect people's differences❤

Being judgemental can be challenging because it cannot allow people to love you for your person, but for the thoughts and criticism you have of others. You also have a hard time focusing on yourself because you focus more on others and how they live their lives, because of this you are automatically you are making less progress on yourself and not working on your own flaws and your own feelings and emotions as much as you could. Because this is what we are supposed to do, we are supposed to advance, evolve, learn more about ourselves as human beings. To stop being judgemental you have to start recenter your perspective more on yourself and your own life, learn to be and have a more positive outlook on people and life. It isn't judgemental if you train your brain to only have good and friendly thoughts about others. Become more altruistic instead of judgemental, realize we are never perfect to mother earth, we are born and brought up equally as human beings as much as we have our differences physically, financially, socially. You have to learn to look beyond that, to find peace with yourself and your own person and what you want to become and how you want to live and find happiness in your life, in order to do that you'll automatically want to have less judgement on others because your judgement is taking energy from you subconciously and it can make you feel very negative depending on the situations. So start living for yourself, do you just like everyone else does themselves, there isn't a particular way one should do anything. Simplify all your thoughts and try to just focus on yourself and live life fully! =)

For me, it took allot of time to learn to not be a judgmental person. I really had to stop and wonder what life has been like for this person and what led to there "them" to exhibit the attribute that I am judging. This hit hard and heavy when I was in middle school. There was a boy in my class, he was smaller than the other kids, always wore dark clothes, had really dark greasy hair, and spoke in a weird accent. The kids in my class, sometimes even myself would mistreat this child. We would pick on everything from his clothes, his food (or lack thereof), to the way he spoke and acted. Often there were time when he was willing to clean the tables after the class ate, two students are always assigned but volunteers can go instead. One day I was set to clean the tables and he volunteered in place of another student. I witnessed him scarf leftover food and take unopened food in his pocket. I was not a bright kid then, but I truly wondered why did he need to sneak food off the table? I don't remember how long after that but he did not show up to class for days. And eventually he did. He looked cleaner but still the sad skinny kid of the class. As usual no one paid him any attention, including the teacher. I tried a few times to talk with him but he seemed scared and did not seem to know how to engage. Everyday I would try to get to know but with no luck and the insults of other students that would berate me for trying. Timeskip, I never saw this young man again. But I am positive that he was neglected and abused as a child. He was blamed for things outside of his control. His support system had failed and we as a class failed him and caused more harm. I wish that upon no one. So I try my best not to judge a person un less I know them personally

By trying to be more empathetic.You should try to understand other people from their point of view.And by not assuming things about people on irrational or invalid basis.

The best way is to not say anything that is not nice. The whole do unto others as you want done to you. So don't say anything to anyone else that you might find hurtful or offensive.

To stop being judgemental, you can just think if I were in this position how would I feel? you should hopefully know how to stop then.

Get to know others. Talk to people more. See others perspective too. Know that different people have different opinions and just because they don't have the same opinion as yours they are wrong.(doesn't apply when they other person is actually wrong)

If you just think of how it would affect other people, it is easy to realize how harmful it can be, and you don’t want to be the one to put someone in a situation that would make them uncomfortable

imagine how you feel being judged by other people and try to not do it to others but its would make them feel how you would feel

The best way I have found to not be judgemental is putting yourself in someone else's shoes! Imagine how it would feel to be them, how it would feel to be judged for whatever the situation may be!

accept that people do the things they do for a reason and that they have a reason as to why they believe a certain thing.

Remember that even thought that person has flaws, everyone does. Including you. If you can’t accept someone’s flaws, and that they’re different from you, then you should be open to judgement as well.

Being judgemental is a nature in human beings. I am a very very very judgemental person. But, how you deal with it is crucial. It took me a hard way to learn this. So I hope this tips will help others to avoid getting into trouble like me... So, first you must tell yourself, being judgemental is normal. Everybody judge each other. BUT, you need to hold your tongue and your body language. Try to act calm and keep your thoughts to yourself. NEVER say it to anyone, because it would always backfire on you (trust me, i've been there). So, keep all the judgmental thoughts to yourself, and don't tell anybody. The next step after you keep your thoughts to yourself, is to talk to the person that you judge. Just have a short conversation. This way, you can learn about the person better. And sometimes even change your mindset about the person. If you do not want to approach or say anything, then keep your thoughts at bay. Just leave it one side, but do not label the person, just through your judgings. Because sometimes it may not be true.

I will not base your character on what you’ve done, your regrets and how you manage yourself as a human being.

By putting yourself into their shoes. Think what if you were in their place. It would help you understand their situation better.

It can be very easy to pass judgement on others, but often assumptions are incorrect, or simply unkind and unnecessary. We never know exactly what someone else is experiencing and without intimate knowledge of the person, we have absolutely no idea why they behave a certain way or respond in a particular fashion. Try to put yourself in their shoes and realise that perhaps that person is having a terrible day, or perhaps that person dresses this way because that is what makes them feel comfortable. Everyone is entitled to respect and support, and I believe that you should do unto others as you would like done to yourself. Have a lovely day.

Well, if you are wondering how to stop being judgmental, that is half the job done already: you seem aware of it and determined to change. Not that much can be said of many people on the planet… Second, it may help to know that being human, you do need to “assess”, constantly, that is what the brain does, we assess and recalibrate all the time, to adapt to our environment, to new problems, to figure out if people, things are safe, and the thing is that assessing and judging can sort of …blend accidentally. And before you know it, you passed judgment It can help thinking: ok, I have passed a “judgement” on A or B, how does it help me? does it close doors or open them? do I need them closed or open? and wonder how the assessment/judgment you passed helps you deep down or not. Third, one thing that greatly helped me to stop being judgmental was to turn an assessment I had just made on its head: say for example, I saw someone who was grumpy on the road, and I think “oh, what a miserable so and so”, then I think, ok, let’s say that I got the wrong end of the stick, that the truth is, actually, this grumpy person is the sweetest person alive, what could make him/her grumpy with me like that? then I come up with reasons that are possible: their knee has been hurting for three days and they haven’t slept. …or, a difficult relative is coming to town and the weekend will be exhausting, or… their best friend is in hospital and they are worried sick and in a hurry to see them. If I can’t dismiss any of those possible reasons as not plausible, it calms me down. And fourth… you could volunteer as a listener here! the aim of all listeners is to completely remove judgment from their approach, and you’d be surprised, first that it is a conscious effort often, you’d be surprised what a relief it brings to the listener to remove judgement, when you can empathise with someone anonymously, because your task is not not judge. We all learn to be less and less judgemental, it is a life task, and every step you take towards it feels like a liberation. Then for the groups or people you find really hard not to judge, well, it may come as a relief to know that it is a skill, not something you are born with, and it takes some hard work sometimes. I struggle especially with not judging certain… political figures in my country, and try to think they must have really lost their way big time. So i stop judging them (not easy, i grant you!), but assess their actions and how it affects people instead. In any case, you are half way there! keep going!

Learn to accept others how they are. Everybody is unique and no one is perfect. Sometimes it takes a bit to realize That, but once you do, you'll find that everybody should be treated equal while still containing their own qualities!

by accepting and understanding that everyone you meet is different, and loving the person for who they are.

Well I think you should understand the person first before judging them , put yourself in their shoes for a second.

The best course of action would be to breathe, count to 10, then put yourself in the person’s shoes. Usually, when people say that, what they mean is to let yourself imagine you being that person. To imagine what they feel about themselves everyday. To imagine how they feel when they are judged likely based on something they can’t changed. Or are judged because of how they are. Just how would you feel in their shoes?

Think about what would you do if you lived their lives,put yourself in their shoes and just know that there are so many things you don’t know about the person you’re judging

That is something that will take practice. Do you feel that being judgemental has affected you negatively?

I try to see things from the person's perspectives and understand their feelings and needs behind their acts/words.

By simply just putting yourself in their shoes and seeing how it would feel being like them. Sometimes you will realize how people see things in this world

Remember that you would not like to be judged. I struggled with being judgemental for a while. before I realized that it is unfair to judge someone you know nothing about. Next time you judge someone, remind yourself that it isn't fair to the person on the receiving end.

Consider that everyone is different in their own way. Think hard about how you feel when somebody judges you, or even when you think someone is. Put yourself in the persons shoes.

This question is a little bit hard because as human being its out tendency to judge. But to stop being judgemental you have to try to step into the shoes or let's say imagine yourself in their situation to have a better understanding of what they are going through. Those shoes may not for you though.
