I see the danger in judging others now & I don't like it when I hear others expressing judgement. It's a bit of an ironic pickle because I find myself judging them for judging others.

When someone expresses judgement, they are indirectly asking you to agree with it.

My approach is to either ignore the judgement or be reframe their judgement as an observation. I don't know if this is the best approach but I know that I can't agree with their judgement.

I don't get triggered by the judgement because I know it's coming from a place of insecurity. Needing to put others down in order to lift others up says a lot about their own beliefs. It's not malicious, just a coping mechanism to dull the pain of taking the actions of others personally.

 yes. that's perfect. it's just their observation, a simple thought that could have gone away, and not who those people are. when I read what you said I felt understood and I could see clearer. thanks, Brisket! it's nice to have your support here.
