Why do we always judge people?

I try not to judge people because everyone  is different and has their own ideas.  I try to see the good in everybody and try to show my respect for them.

because they  know how they are but dont want to judge themselves first before they judge others. they also dont want to get to know theperson first.

Because they don't care about anyone except themselves. That's what's wrong with the world today...it's each man for himself, rather than mankind helping one another out. The world would be too perfect and easy that way. Plus, people ridicule and make fun because they fear the unknown. It's easier to pass judgement than to get to know someone. It's called ignorance. Hopefully they'll grow up someday and start treating folks the way they want to be treated.

If you are judging a person for anything other than their character then you are wrong. I teach my children everyday that they should get to know a person before they pass judgment on them. You never know what kind of personal issues or life struggles that person may have. Also when you judge someone you are putting yourself on a pedestal above them, but there are things in your own life that you are not proud of, none of us are better than the other. When I was a child and I made fun of someone my mother would put empathy in my heart by making me do something nice for that person. She would always say "There, but for the grace of God, go I." That means if it was not for God's blessings she could also be in that person's predicament. Now when I find myself passing judgment on a person for whatever reason, I stop myself and then try to be extra nice to them because more than likely they have to deal with negativity often. You never know what a smile or a few kind words can do for a person.

To answer this question would mean to stereotype... It's best not to judge people before knowing them.  I think that you are putting yourself in danger by dropping your guard agaisnt certain people when the fact of the matter is that on an indivual level we are all capable of acting and behaving in similar ways.\n\nGreat question though!  Really gets ya' thinking

Because we think that we are always right, even though we don't mean to we hurt others and they think we did it on purpose. Most of all because we are humans!

The world can be a better place if we could all just recognize that everyone has more similarities than they do differences. If we could put a face and feelings to the people we tend to hate. If we could try to understand where people are coming from and why they feel the way they do before we judge them. The world would be a better place if we realized that every single person on earth has come to view things exactly as they do as a result of both their past experience and what they have been taught. Rather than persecute them for those views, we could offer them new experiences or teachings on which to base their views of the future.

You can't satisfy anyone without pulling yourself apart trying to accomodate them. You can't make everyone happy. We try to seek approval from others because it adds to what we think our self worth is. We want people to be proud of us and like us, it is just the way we were taught to put others opinions and values over our own.

Man...everytime you open your mouth, or go in public, or don't open your mouth, or don't go in public.....you're gonna be judged. It's hard to be completely non-judgemental. Are you? Right now you are saying why are ppl so judgemental? Isn't that you judgeing them? Just let it be. Let ppl have their opinions on you. Why do you care what they think? It's really irrelevant, right?

because by human nature, we are very good at preaching to others but not doing it ourselves. We are very good at judging people but not ourselves, and we probably don't see what we do as 'wasting' water.

Should We Never Judge?\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment"; and "You have rightly judged."; and "Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?"; and "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves". (Jesus' Words in John 7:24; Luke 7:43, 12:57 and Matt. 23:15)\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSummary\n\nThere is an extremely serious error that is being believed by the vast majority of people caught up in christian religion. This error is literally making those folks unwilling and unable to discern truth. And what is this error? It is believing that all "judgment" is wrong. If this is true, then what is to be made of Jesus' Words above? In the verses above, Jesus clearly commands people to judge, commends people for judging, and judges himself.\n\nThe key point to understand is that not all judgment is wrong, just various types of judgment. The types of judgment that are wrong according to Jesus are condemnation, as well as hypocritical and self-righteous judgment. On the other hand, right judgment is commended by Jesus as we see above. Right judgment includes the judging of truth versus falsehood. The sincere, serious and sober judgment of our own sins, as well as the gentle, and compassionate judgment and correction of other's beliefs or sins.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nWhat is the matter with 'judging'?\n\nTragically, Satan is doing a masterful job in christianity's organizations in regard to confusing people over the issue of "judgment". People have been lead to believe that it is "un-loving" to correct someone who is in error, whether by word or deed. Certainly many have contributed to Satan's lie of "don't judge anyone" by being harsh, ungracious or unmerciful in their judgments. It is easy for a person - after being excoriated by a modern day Pharisee who is telling them that they are going to hell if they don't believe something that Jesus doesn't even address - to be pushed to believe that all "judgment" is wrong.\n\nIn like manner, many more have contributed to Satan's lie by taking the position that anything said to correct someone, no matter how gently done, is "ungracious" or unloving. These folks are the counterfeit believers who dogmatically state that all judgment is wrong (except their own of course!), especially the kind that points out the falsehoods they are believing. I can't count how many times have I heard the accusation, "oh, brother, you should not say that those who believe the doctrine's of the christian church are in error - that is judging them and Jesus says we are not to judge others. You are being divisive by your judgment. You need to come to an understanding of Jesus' love…"   Notice how I am judged as "un-loving" comparing Christianities beliefs with Jesus' Words.  I could be the kindest, most gentle, caring, compassionate, giving, selfless person on the planet (which I am not), but if I believe that the teachings of christianity lead people away from Jesus, then I am judged as "un-loving" and usually much worse.  Ironic, isn't it?  That when I try to point out how a teaching of Jesus contradicts a doctrine of christianity, I will be judged as a heretic or worse?  So, while I try to look at a belief that someone holds, and they don't like the truth that I might be bringing, they are only too quick to break their own "don't be judgmental" belief to condemn my person.\n\nGuess who is being judged as un

we have to obligation to judge behavior, because we have to determine if it is right or wrong, and whether we will be part of the behavior.   \n\nWe do not judge the motive behind the behavior, or the eternal destiny of the individual soul.

God judging people is different from people judging people. The Bible tells us that we should not judge each other, but God judges our actions.

I hear this all the time from people who can't stand to be criticized, even indirectly.\n\nThe murderer who asks, "Who are you to judge?"\n\nThe thief who steals because he is poor, and doesn't like the way he is treated in life.  When confronted with his crimes he says, "Who are you to judge us poor people?"\n\nThe slob who arrives late for a job interview, acts in a disrespectful manner, and when you try to help him out with hints on being more successful replies, "Who are you to judge?"\n\nThe cheating husband who claims his wife doesn't deserve a faithful husband because she is a b****.  When you tell him that his behavior is reprehensible he replies, "Who are you to judge?"\n\nThe politician who takes bribes and looks down on the little people as being unworthy to judge his behavior.\n\nThe terrorist who kills innocent women and children in the name of his cause, and when you criticize him he replies that you have no right to judge him.\n\nAny other group which tries to stifle debate about the harmful effects of what they are doing by trying to make you feel guilty for judging.\n\nCertainly there are times when it is wrong to judge individuals, because we never know all of the facts, but it is wrong to assume that we cannot make judgments on right and wrong.  We can judge types of behavior.  We can and must make judgments about people when it affects are safety and that of our children or others we have a responsibility for.  We can and ought to make judgments about who to trust with our money, time, and love.\n\nA great many people quote the Bible incorrectly.  The Bible says judge righteously.  The Bible recognizes that we must judge people.

I believe we, as humans, judge without knowing all the facts.  It may appear one way to us, but if we knew all the facts, we may see it another way.  I've had people judge me in a certain situation, but they didn't know what I had been through and they only saw the choice I made, not that I didn't have a choice.

I think it's because people are basically egocentric.  Also self-preservation is rather high on the list of the instincts.
