Judging

We are judging others, and others are judging us all the time. “I like your shirt”, “Look at her hairdo!”, “They are too young”, or “He cannot speak clearly”. We feel happy to hear compliments, which comes with a price that we feel upset to hear criticism.

We are afraid of people judging us, especially negatively, and that is why we feel nervous when speaking in public, or during a job interview, on a date, etc.

How to overcome?

Not easy but you can ask yourself: am I nervous when talking with my dog or cat? Am I judging myself when I speak to a mirror?
