You need to put yourself in the person's shoes. Try understand what they are going through by imagining 'what if it was me?' 'how would I feel is I was going through this and someone else without even knowing what it is just judges me?'. Once you have the answers to those questions you'll know. If the person does not want anyone to know you need to understand that something are private or just too emotionally tearing apart that it's hard to talk about. You can also imaging a really bad situation happening that you would not wanna talk about ans imagine if someone just randomly judges you without understanding.Hope I was helpful.

Well it can be something that's in your personality but the fact that your asking this means that you don't like being judgmental just every time you think about judging someone you may think about how they feel and if it's their fault and I appreciate that you go look for how too change it but just let everyone do what they want and if you don't like it then just don't come near them it may sometimes just pop up in your head but when you just think before judging something then I'm almost sure you will get less judgmental

Consider working on empathy skills - putting yourself in someone else's shoes. How would you feel if someone judged you the way you judge other people? Keep in mind that what people show you (along with first impressions) usually isn't all there is. Every person is different, and usually has more to offer than what they show on the outside. We all have insecurities, bad habits and flaws, but it doesn't mean that's all we are. Judging someone purely on the things you don't like about them is giving them very little credit. Along with this, have you considered if you're just as judgemental towards yourself as well? Usually, if we can't give something (respect, love, understanding, empathy) to others, it's because we can't do the same for ourselves. Don't lose faith though, as by asking such a question, you're making a mature and thoughtful decision. That already shows me that you have it in you, but it's just a matter of cultivating and improving such qualities that already exist. Good luck with it.

i have also been a judgemental person for a lot of my life, i haven't really figured if its a state of mind or a mind set. there is no real way to stop being judgemental but there is a way to decrease it to a fair amount. A good way to start is by being empathetic it kind of allows you to see things from others perspective and try to understand them, judgements are often based on a persons experiences or beliefs it is entirely up to you if you want to change in any way, sometimes all you need is acceptance of others feelings or yours, its entirely up to you

We are all judgmental. Yes, even you. I certainly am, many times. I think it’s human nature. And yet, while it is in our nature to be judgmental, I don’t think it’s always useful to us. We look down on others, as if we are so much better … and that creates division between people. Think about it for a second: we see someone, and based on their looks or actions, we pass judgment on them. Not good judgment, either. Usually without even knowing the person. And that’s it — that’s usually the extent of our interaction with that person. We don’t make an effort to get to know the person, or understand them, or see whether our judgment was right or not.

Realizing that you're judgemental is the first step, and I'm glad you've accepted that. We judge others because they don't meet 'our' criteria. We need to realize that there's much more than what we think is right. To stop being judgmental, you could, perhaps, think about what would you feel if you were in their shoes, or think about different situations they could be in (for example, if they don't follow a trend, maybe it's because they're financially struggling). Think of different situations another person could be in, and ask yourself, do they deserve to be judged? Will my judgment change anything? To start, you can try not talking about someone or something, even if it's in your mind, try not to gossip about it with others, keep it to yourself, and try convincing yourself that "I shouldn't judge them based on one thing" and then maybe think about the good things in them.

So, this one is a bit glossed over. I feel like a lot of people are judgmental which is very toxic, but they don't think that they are judgmental. I used to crack jokes with my friends about random people we see, whether it would about their clothes or something they're doing, and it was under the name of making 'safe' jokes, but that is until one day the realization dawned on me that what we were doing in fact, was being judgmental. Sometimes, it depends on the company you're in the presence of, they can encourage you and you can encourage them, and the more jokes you make, the easier it gets for judgment to slip really easily off your tongue. But it's really a matter of developing the habit of biting back your tongue when you have something mean to say. It's normal for humans to have negative opinions about things that don't resonate with them, but it's not acceptable to let it come out of your mouth. You just need to bite back any mean thing you have to say, and sooner or later, you will find that you will be more accepting and respectful.

Ironically, I stop being judgemental by being judgemental. Let me explain, I accept a concept called' social constructionism' saying every concept/story/belief I take in is the result of social interaction. Meaning to say whatever I belief is NOT TRUTH but highly SUBJECTIVE. Bcos it is subjective and thus I get to choose what belief I want including others' perspectives. Resulting in open my mind and accept other thinkings. Another concept is co-creating subjective world, when i know all my concept and understanding came from interactive communication with another person, it totally blew my mind to notice how my world view keep changing during conversation. Hope it helps, cheers.

empathy. think about the good in situations and the positive before the negative. if you see something negative about a person fill that in with something positive that you notice. Always put yourself in the other persons shoes and ask yourself how would they feel? and after you ask yourself that question if the answer is something negative its probably something that you should not point out.Plus if you are going around judging people think about the fact that there are lots of people who are judging you wherever you go and picking out every one of your individual insecurities.

First of all you have to be understanding of their situation, what we see all the time is just the surface, we Don't have a data base access to people's thoughts and feelings. For example, a girl who is so silent in class and doesn't talk much can be labelled as snob type but we couldn't know, maybe she is dealing with social anxiety or trust issues with people. We should always try to know that we cannot see what's going on in other people's life the only one who sees it is our God above definitely. Hope it helps.
