I don't know if it is just lately or if I have always been this way but I am so much more aware of it. Maybe it is because I am getting older. I seem to have an opinion about everything and everyone. It probably isn't a good thing to be. I just see and hear things and shake my head in disbelief and I also want to shake the people I am judging. Maybe it is because they need to open their eyes. I don't really know.
I find the older I get the more I want to knock sense into people...but I think it's because I don't want to see anyone make bad decisions and deal with shit that could have been prevented.

When I judge others it's often because I see something in them that I don't like about myself. Sometimes that thing is below the surface for me so I don't even really realize it. Or I need to be focusing on other things and judging others is just an easy way to take the focus off what it really needs to be on. Plus I can't change other people so judging them basically accomplishes nothing but wasting time and I am way too busy for that! I need all the time I can get
I guess I'm just the opposite. I have my opinions but I have found that I'm LESS judgemental the more I go through.
That's not to say I don't give a major side eye to those who are blatantly making poor choices. That is different. But I try to really think about where people are coming from, or talk to them before I get too preachy/judgey.
