    I notice when people look like they're on drugs. Mainly cause I wonder what drug they're on

    I sometimes wonder if people are on meth when they are kind of trashy looking with bad teeth.

    And sores on the face too

    Everyone judges even if we don't want to.

    Here, for example, I've thought on occasions "wow this person is really full of themself, this person is really confident, this person is hilarious !" But really, behind the scenes of the forum stage they're all of this but all equally as broken too and I actually find that more beautiful because it's real.

    I've also been told I make terrible first impressions. My ex told me I come across cold, snarky and stuck up. Once he got to know me though he...just kidding, I killed him.

    So where did you bury the body? I'm asking, not because I am the police that hacked this guys account to get information on a murder, but because I am interested in fellow members of MyFitnessPal.

    I didn't bury it, silly, I put on my favourite episode of breaking bad and followed the instructions.

    I also hope people's first impression of me isn't in this thread. :#

    It is

    I once judged a slightly over weight old lady for running a marathon, thinking to myself she's not going to make it but she was fast and beat me to the finish line! I was mentally embarrassed and ashamed of myself for judging her.

    Judging is natural. Humans make judgements about other humans and then gravitate towards those that we perceive as least threatening to our way of life. People we perceive as being comfortable, familiar or attractive. You're not initially aware that you're doing it. It's for survival purposes. What you decide to do with that judgment is up to you. Guy in front of you screaming at the sky? Turn around? Go to the other side of the street? Walk past? Record and upload to snapchat? Which of these choices yields the highest chances of not being murdered? In my line of field, I have to go into strangers houses everyday. I keep an open mind as to what these people's personalities are and treat them like I'd want to be treated, but in the back of my mind I have to have a back up plan if things go to hell in a hand basket and they turn out to be psychos. I know this was supposed to be a fun topic and I'm ranting at this point, but everyone judges, even if you aren't aware of it.

    OMG, do you need a cover for that novel?

    Edit: if so what would the cover look like?

    My exact thoughts in first paragraph. :)

    Meh, I was leaning more toward the second paragraph. Much more exciting at the end.

    I work in a bar, and I will totally judge you on your drink order

    What's your assessment of people that only drink Margaritas or Bloody Marys?

    I judge people who use the phrase Judgy McJudgepants while judging other people for judging. I also notice those who call out others for "judging" are usually guilty of the sin of chronic virtue signaling when they aren't scolding others for judging. But if I tell them that, they'll say I'm a Judgy McJudgepants and the party will never end.

    I run across this the most with my ( devoted religious family members )

    These might be question(s) for a different thread or an offshoot conversation.

    But what's the difference between criticizing and judging, in the opinion of you threadsters?

    Is there a discernible difference?

    Does it matter if it's kept private anyway?

    Would one annoy you more than the other if a clear distinction between the two were understood?

    Criticize:
    1. indicate the faults of (someone or something) in a disapproving way.

    Judge:
    1. form an opinion or conclusion about.

    Huge difference between the two.

    lol. I judge people who drink Moscato. :laugh:

    I can often guess the kind of tip I will get from someone by what they order and how they order it.

    I judge Moscato as well. It is the white zin of the 2010s.

    What do big tippers usually order vs small tippers? Just curious.

    Or, tell me my tip based on my drink :D
    If I'm ordering wine I am a Cab - not brand specific or if at a sports bar, line up the shots of fireball...
    My husband is a double Makers Mark neat... same at a sports bar
