How do I stop being judgemental?

You can simply remember that,, we all have our life and never the people around us see the full picture, know everything that we deal with, you never know from which options people make their choices. And it is their life, we all have right to live our lives in any way that pleases us unless we harm someone else while doing so.

You can try to think of the other person’s side of the story, or you could try to stop and rethink how you would feel if you were in their situation.

You can learn to reduce the judgement you place on people or things by being open to learning. Also, you may consider practicing acceptance in differences. No one thing is the same, and that is a good thing!

When you have a judgmental thought, consider: Why do I think this? What emotions are affecting my thoughts? What assumptions am I making? Is it my job to be judgmental right now? Can I be more accepting or considerate in this situation? I think it's also really important to not get upset with yourself. Use the times you may be feeling judgmental to grow. At least that is what helps me!

Remember that everybody has a different story. You might live one way, but another person might live another way. Happiness makes the world go round, and it should be important to you that the other person is happy. If what they do makes them happy and isn't damaging or hurting you or anybody else, respect it.

Imagine you are that person you are judging, how would you feel if you were them and they were you. Never assume anything before speaking to someone and try to place yourself in their shoes.

Everyone is going through something in their life. They have their own thoughts and feelings. They experience everyday life just like you and me. If you catch yourself thinking something potentially judgemental, think about how that person feels. Think about their emotions. Then think again about what you’re thinking.

For me personally, I stopped being judgmental when I started to put myself in that person's shoes and being more emphatic. If you try to understand how it feels to be judged, then you will automatically stop being judgmental.

No one can stop being judgmental. It's just what humans do, everyone has an opinion on something the moment that their senses come in contact with it. Judgements are opinions, beliefs, predicaments, just like if you were driving you need to judge how far away from someone else's vehicle, you are.

Well, first you have to know yourself you truly and deeply want to be less judgemental. And then work towards it, when you conclude something about someone without getting to know them, stop yourself. Imagine someone doing the same to you. Get to know the person first, maybe even a simple talk with them first. Repeat for yourself "I don't this person, I won't conclude anything before I get to know what they really are like". I hope it helps.
