why  are people so judgemental?

People who are unable to be empathetic will judge you.  The fact that you and your wife are going through the same thing should make it easier to go through all together...it can also make it easier to relapse.  Stay focused, and when all else fails and you need motivation, think of your wife overall well being.

To the person in front of me (you do not have a username?): why is it that people are always quick to label those who speak up against what is wrong "judgemental"?  You're right, it is in GOD'S (singular, not plural) final  authority to judge, but aren't we whom are created in His image, His hands and feet?  Shouldn't we give a damn when our fellow brothers and sisters are acting immorally?!\n\nIt is NOT only his opinion, it is God's!  So take your complaints up with God, because HE made the rules!  You are not moral if you disagree with God - period!\n\n"Moral" people who don't follow Jesus are not really moral, it's just an illusion!  Because they don't truly follow God, they still places themselves on this pedastal where THEY get to decide what is right and wrong.  No, no, no; there can't be five different "acceptable" ways to look at one wrong thing.  There can only be one; that is just the facts of the law.  When you put in man, however, that is when we get many crazy ways of looking at what is wrong.

I don't think so because being judgmental means  saying wrong things of people but con stating that a person is judgmental means hearing them saying wrong things

These people are just so judgemental.  They are not open to anyone elses opinion but their own.  They have usually come from very strict moral upbringings and it's the only thing they understand.  As to why they argue its cos they are totally convinced they are right and if the whole world saw things their way it would be a better place.  Oh how deceived they are lol.x

~~prob. because they think they are perfect and believe that the rest of the world should hold to their standards,\n \nor \n\nthe other reason is, they are not happy people and have to put others down to try to bring themselves up.\n\n2 ppl like that i say: "gita lyfe 'nd git ovrit!"~~

Obviously your more intelligent than most people. That's not taking a stab at ya. Some are more receptive to their world than others. You see what many are blind to. But it may be rude to correct people all the time. Gentle aknowledge their veiw and show them yours without any judgement. Don't be sorry ....just be yourself yourallright and on track.

Perhaps they are angry because they feel like they are not part of the inheritance and resent your confidence that you are. It's not good to judge others but it is natural  I guess, in the fallen world. I have moments of doubt too. It's not easy to love your enemy, especially when you don't want any enemies. If they say you are ignorant, remember, judge not for as you judge you will be judged. Remember also that wisdom appears foolish to a fool. It is not our place to convert. Maybe that has to do with the resentment. I don't know, but I think your delicate manner is a good example of kindness in the face of adversity. You are tolerant and in my opinion a good embassador for Christianity, if you are a Christian. Oh, and YES!,  you do make sense.

Because the only way they know to feel better about themselves is to point out the weaknesses and faults of anyone and everyone else.\n\nAnd it seems that a lot of people think everyone else's life is their business to poke their noses into.\n\nAnd because those people fail to see the good in anything or anyone.

because they're afraid of judgement.  they judge others because they feel judged themselves.  i hate people that don't like me, but i don't try to, it just occurs that way.  we can supress or express our hate, but it's still there.  people hate as often as they love.  the end... i suppose.

Insecurity is a good guess. Many of those that try to make themselves seem better than others have real issues with themselves. They can not ever believe someone can do something better than them, make more money, etc. What they do is right and what everyone else does is wrong. Unfortunately I  know many many people like that. I have learned to tune them out of my life as much as possible and when I can't I do my best to keep my mouth shut. It really is a shame because I know some that are worse than those they are knocking and it makes me so ill at heart to see a loved one get hurt that way

Any person who thinks that an entire group of people can be judged by the action of the few they know or heard about, is technically INSANE. \n\nSo, that explains why they feel just fine about it...... after all, they are wondering how others can sleep at night by allowing the "races" to intermix in marriage and the like. But did they forget that we are all ONE race - the HUMAN RACE, descendants of Adam & Eve. \n\nInsecure people often find the need to pump themselves up by putting others down. And putting down a whole class of people due to some, is just plain ignorant and so illogical that it's crazy.

well this is kind of yahoo answers, in order to evaluate a situation some judging has to come into play. i don't judge too harshly though but the most important thing is you. i've had people call me some pretty ragged names over the years and quess what? doesn't matter. i have in fact become proud of the traits that most judgmental people hate. i masterbate several times a day if i can find the time and i love it. people tell me i'm a loser for it and thats their opinion but if it really bothered me i'd stop. freedom of speech means everyone from the kkk to the black panthers is allowed to speak their minds freely without worrying about consequences. i personally would rather racist people be open about it so we know they are idiots and can ignore them. rather than have them hide it from us so we don't judge them. so yeah, don't judge people, but if people do judge, who cares, no biggie, ignore them.

Initially, people judge people by appearance and actions, because these are the first things that you can observe about someone.  You can judge this up close or from a distance.  People usually judge based on comparing another person to their own appearance, and how much the appearance differs from their own appearance.\n\nIf someone takes the time to get to know someone, they will judge a person on "deeper" issues:  intelligence, ways of spending time, ways of treating others, and beliefs.  Of course, these again are perceived by the person that is doing the judging, and they're usually compared to their own characteristics/beliefs.\n\nShould people judge people?  Yes, and no.  It's good to have standards that you expect of people, in terms of how you are treated, and standards of common decency.  However, one should keep in mind that this world would be a boring place if we were all the same, and that everyone does not have the same experiences that you have. So, although judging is hard to avoid, you have to control what you do with your judgements.  And it's always good to reassess what you think of someone.  Try to get to know people better.

Maybe because they have no illusions. they see themselves as they ARE, those around them as THEY are, or the WORLD as it is. For rational people it is hard to find comfort in the way the world is today, though it is best to accept what is and do the best one can. No?

It's because people think they are right and when someone questions their beliefs even a little it scares them.\n\nDiffering opinions should be seen as an opportunity.  They will either change you or support what you believe... they are not about anger and fear.
