Being judgmental is a personality trait that affects our relationships and prevents us from establishing healthy connections with other people. Negativity always impacts our mental health and emotional well-being.

For many of us, being overly critical of others—even if it comes out as cool intellectual criticism—is a way of masking anger we may feel toward ourselves. You might have unacknowledged issues to explore if you are being judgy.

🔍 TL/DR: Here’s How Judgment Works…

An issue you’re having makes you feel bad about yourself —maybe you’re afraid to make a significant life change, such as finding a new job or getting out of a toxic relationship, even though it’s the right thing to do.

That feeling of inadequacy stings. As you progress, the guilt and shame you feel for not doing anything about the problem grows.

Eventually, the guilt and shame become self-directed anger. But still, you feel stuck…

You judge others as a coping mechanism–criticizing someone else makes it seem like you’ve got things together, and that (temporarily) makes you feel good.

Over time, the constant criticism builds up, and all that negativity becomes one more thing that feels out of alignment.

You can only deal with your insecurities and self-anger if you are aware of them and willing to explore them. The habit of being critical of others will subside once you address your core motivator.
