Do you judge?

Of course we all make judgements of others all the time. Quite often positive ones so being judgemental isn't necessarily a bad thing.

If someone’s says they don’t judge they are fibbing There you go I m judging ?

I think we are all guilty of judging others...I do tend to get annoyed at families with more children than they can afford and mum and dad can't work due to ill health....I shout at the TV when they come on programmes saying they need more benefit ...

I’m afraid I do judge , more on behaviour though. Screeching women. People who barge past you (invisible clearly) and general bad manners.

Ok , outfits too!! Vest tops in town on older larger ladies. However I love to see people in unusual get ups,
Ike 1940’s etc

Following the common post and the comments about snobbisness do you judge critically on first impressions? I do it naturally, perhaps because my gran used to do a running commentary on everyone. She would say there's Mrs so and so, she was one of the skivvies in the factory and now she hasnt tuppence to rub together.She had a potted history of everyone in the village which was entertaining if not pc.
My grandson was horrified when I described someone as fat. You can't say that he said.
I think it's natural to have a little snapshot of people even if they prove to be wrong.For example a little lady my age in M and s outfit and I think perhaps church goer sensible and boring whereas another my age in leopard tights and lots of make up could be wife of wealthy man,pots of money etc.
Probably none of you do this as you're too nice.
