I used to judge people as well for different things, clothes and looks and the way they talk and all but i now know that it is not my place to judge anyone. \nI dont want anyone to judge me just because I am different. We all life different lives with our own likes and dislikes and faults and no one is just like ourselves. So no one should judge nor be judged by others. We all do what we do!!!  WHO ARE WE TO POINT OUR FINGERS AND JUDGE OTHERS

People just want to know something about you so they can relate, avoid insult, and perhaps understand what values you hold dear. It is perhaps away to help open yourself up to others, so they can find common ground and share themselves as well.  Good luck.

Anyone who is not satisfied with where they are at will not acknowledge someone who knows where they are from, They are embarassed.  Otherwise they think that they are better than you and not worth looking at.

I think we all judge even though we may try to avoid it, but let's face it there are just some people we really don't want to hang out with.  Regardless of whether this judgment was made on a first impression or not it doesn't matter-the truth of the matter is we all judge.

A lot of the time, people aren't completely aware of just how limited their information is.  Additionally, we're extremely proud and confident by nature, and have been taught that we have the ability to 'figure things out.'  Added to this is the fact that we've been taught (in school, but also elsewhere) to draw conclusions from little evidence, i.e. to work with what we've got.  It's at times a practical approach to the factual, scientific world; not, on the other hand, so much when it concerns people and things which are very flexible and sometimes in a constant state of flux.  People are constantly changing, and we're so complex that even we cannot understand ourselves.  But that does not preclude many people from assuming a more intimate and detailed knowledge than perhaps they really possess.\n\nThen there is the fact that we have many "models" on which we base assumptions.  Depending on our own beliefs, experiences, and positions in life we are inclined to believe one thing or another.  We take the information we've accumulated and the knowledge we've gathered from past events and apply it to the ones at hand, even if it's not very applicable or appropriate.  People feel the need to conquer and understand things, and this is one method they use in an attempt to do that.  It's not fair, not at all.  It's not fun for anybody, least of all the person being judged and perhaps consequently unfairly treated.  Unfortunately, c'est la vie.\n\nI didn't mean to make such a jumbled answer.  It's a fairly simple question, but there really are so many angles to it.  Quite often, people are not conscious of just how judgemental they are and how much they jump to conclusions, and that expounds the problem.  And any resistance from either side just worsens the tension and solidifies any pre-existing notions.\n\nI think I could go on and on.  Suffice it to say, people are arrogant and pretentious, both by nature as well as a side effect of an "enlightened" society in which thought and analysis are valued traits.  We claim a right to knowledge and opinion, regardless of any effects.  I think the only way truly to deal with that is to take precautions on how we present ourselves, unfair as that may be at times, so as to safeguard against the possibility of anybody jumping to the wrong conclusions.  Ultimately, though, we have to let go of the need to be in control of other people's thoughts, their preconceptions and judgements, however much they may bother us.  There's a lot we cannot change in this world...

I think for some people asking a complete stranger is easier than asking someone you are close to.  On here you never see the person's face so even if they judge you you can blow it off.  When it is someone you know, you have to look them in the face and see how they react before the words come.  It is harder for human beings to be judged by someone they are closely attached to.

Beacuse so many people cannot see their own faults.  They see themselfs entirely differant from who they really are.  Reality is\nnot  a nice thing,  it is sometimes, a slap in the face.

How right you are but hon, don't be too quick to judge . Here in America we are pretty quick to judge . we put someone we respect on a pedestal and are crushed when they can't live up to our expectations. Well maybe we better demand such perfection from ourselves before we expect it from them. And then when we are totally perfect in every way and only when we reach that level of perfection then we can judge them, but I know i make mistakes every day so I will never be totally perfect, thank god I wouldn't want to be the one to judge anyhow I am just not mean enought and I know how many times I didn't live up to my own expectations and I don't feel qualifyed to judge anyone, wouldn't it be a refreshing change if everyone was that forgiving.? oh well one can dream.

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.

most people dont choose their own name so I dont think you can judge someone by their name

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.

Yes, people do judge others by their dress, bodily markings, interests, methods of speaking, etc. For instance, when I see you, I automatically think "Hippie". I don't know if it is the red hair, or the mermaid tattoos.

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

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.

People like to put other people into groups, stereotyping, its makes them feel more comfortable if they think they understand the person and can expect a certain behaviour from them because they have grouped them into an area they think they belong. This assuming is not good and unfair, just because a person looks a certain way does not mean they should be classified.\nIts easier to form a negative opinion of someone than a positve one, if you think about it, we want proof that a person is a good guy but we are happy to think he is a bad guy based on well, nothing.\nI work in the community services field and we are not allowed to stereotype but even I find it difficult not to.\nI have to remind myself all the time " don't make assumptions"

It's just human nature.  People always judge others, whether they admit it or not, even if they don't know enough.  It's probably a survival trait left over from thousands of years ago, when people had to make quick decisions in order to live.\nI wouldn't worry about it.  Ignore other people's judgments about you and live your life to the fullest.\nHave a good time!

treat them with respect because they most likely know more then other people
