Just try to be open minded. There is no exact way to stop being judgemental all you can to is try to stop. Talke to the people, make yourself a own picture of them and try to be open minder for new ideas. Try to accept views and ideas that aren’t your own as long as no one gets hurt by it and don’t stuck yourself on one idea. You will be surprised how easyer life will be and who knows, maby you will even find new friends that way! I wish you much luck! You’re an amazing person! Keep going!

I think putting yourself in someone else's shoes can help you to be less judgmental with others around you because then you kinda can understand why they are the way that they are. You can get a little taste of what a day in their shoes is like. Showing empathy and being understanding is something that i think is super important in life because it helps you better to connect with others around you. Being judgmental is something that we just automatically do, so it will definitely take some hard work and dedication to keep yourself from wanting to automatically making judgments on people.

First, I would like you to know that it is absolutely normal to feel judgmental. Humans have evolved to be judgmental in order to maintain their safety and well-being, and feeling judgmental does not make you a bad person at all. You have every right to form opinions on others. Where we overstep with judgment in modern society is allowing our personal opinions of others and their actions to affect the amount of respect and care we show for them. One of the ways I have reduced acting judgmentally towards others is to recognize what actions and words set off an emotional reaction in me that makes me want to say hurtful or rude things. When I hear or see one of these triggers, I take a moment to remind myself inwardly that this is another human being, and that it is up to me to treat others respectfully even when I do not think well of them.

Try to think about their situation from their perspective. Why do we judge others? Its when we feel we dont understand what they are doing and why are they behaving a certain way. Try to be more empathetic. Do this exercise and see for yourself. Observe people around you. What makes them think the way they think and the way they do things. Why is it so different from how you think? And when you think and see things from their perspective you will realise that its because their experiences with life are different, their upbringing, the environment in which they grew, the people they met are different and that is what shaped them. Doing this will make you realise that what you think may be 6 must be a 9 for them. Be more empathetic.

We are all judgmental. Every we walk about in life making all sorts of judgments. Whether it's about somebody's outfit to their character. When I am in a situation where I think I'm being judgmental I remind myself that the person I'm judging is not myself. This is a whole other person with a whole other view on life and style etc.. how would I know if these are only pair of shoes they had? Learning to look at someone instead of down at them only helps our self. We might be able to learn something new or make a new friend or maybe even help out in the smallest way as long as we are looking at someone and not down on them. Judgement is good but just like everything too much of it is not going to hurt anyone but ourselves. Because eventually if everybody were to dress like us and be like us.. wouldn't the world be boring?

A lot of people are judgemental, it is easy for us to look at someone and make an assumption about that person. Try putting your self in someone else's shoes. In reality, if you think about it making assumptions is making "an ass out of you and me". When someone is looking for help and right then and there you start judging you may be setting yourself off from someone who could very well be your next best friend or someone who may be able to help you with a problem you have. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Try to think of a positive comment instead of or before a negative. By initially complimenting or sending positivity instead of just judging you will slowly become less judgemental. It is natural to judge people or things - even though most people try not to. From personal experience, I used to be very judgemental, and I still am judgemental. However I tried to think of one compliment for everyone I saw. I never actually voiced these compliments because it made me nervous but just having these positive thoughts gave me a better headspace. I can still be judgemental but by adding this positivity, I feel a lot less judgemental then a couple of months ago

Think about a time when you went through something difficult. Something others close to you or even acquaintances couldn't understand. Now remember the responses from the people you reached out to, if you shared your struggle. The people who supported you or empathized with you probably lifted your spirits, or at least made you feel a little better. Now remember the responses from those who didn't understand you and made you feel like they were placing a label on you that made you feel sad, bad, or ashamed and embarrassed for sharing with them. Which response did you prefer? Most people are going to agree that the kind, supportive and empathetic people would be their preference when sharing a problem because judgmental people either didn't help or made them feel worse. If you stop and imagine yourself in someone else's shoes, it may help you to judge less. Just remember that even if you can't imagine or understand what another person is going through does not mean their struggle is not real for them, just as your recalled struggle was very real for you when you shared it with someone else who was unsympathetic.

To stop being judgmental when someone is talking to you about there problems just listen. Do not think about them in a certain way just because you have learnt that people with certain looks, ideas or behaviors are wrong or not appropriate. That is just an opinion and everyone has one. Just try and understand what they need from you when they are taking to you about their problems or issues. Through this method you will be lest liking to judge them and more likely to be able to have an open mind and be able to help and support them.

To stop or be less judgemental, a good exercise is to always try to put yourself in the shoes of the person before judging them. It's also important to keep in mind that everyone is going through their own things, that we may not know about. Another exercise is to think about what you would like if that was you, would you like to be judged or supported? It's important to treat others like you would like to be treated, so as to set an example and hopefully inspire people to do the same, and be less judgemental of others.
