Judging others—it’s something that we all do, all the time. Whether we’re aware of it or entirely subconsciously, we’re constantly evaluating and interpreting the world around us. Making comments about people and situations in our heads. Checking how the world conforms to how we imagine it should be like. And frowning upon anyone who litters!

After being prompted to open up by redditor u/supercoliofy, internet users began sharing the things that make them silently judge people. Taking a deep dive into their comments is enlightening: we’ve judged people for similar things; we’ve done some of the things in this list that deserve judgment.

Read on for some silent judgment-gone-loud, upvote the posts you agree with, and drop on by the comment section to share your opinions, dear Pandas. Do bamboo thieves make you angry? Do you think people give other bears more recognition? We’re very interested to hear what makes you silently judge someone.

Bored Panda reached out to Lee Chambers, a Psychologist and Wellbeing Consultant, to talk about why we judge other people, as well as what role this plays in our lives.

"Judging others is something that we as humans do, both consciously and automatically, and there are a number of reasons why we do it. Comically, we are often told as children not to judge others and have stories shared about how judging others can mean we upset them or lose opportunities to see what really lies behind our perception," he told Bored Panda. Scroll down for our interview with Lee!

When I see an overweight person in a gym I always silently say to myself "good for you"

Psychologist Lee, the founder of Essentialise Workplace Wellbeing and PhenomGames, revealed to Bored Panda some of the reasons why we judge other people.

"Sometimes, we judge others to feel superior ourselves, finding faults in others, highlighting them, and feeling better about ourselves in the process. Sometimes, we use it to work out where we fit in, recognizing how we want to be, where our aspirations lie, and how we don't want to become," he said.

"Sometimes, it's in response to our own flaws, and we attack others for what we don't like or don't see into ourselves. And on other occasions, it's to fit into a wider group who judge something or someone, and we conform and perform with the same judgment."

According to Lee, being judgmental can be good and it "does have some benefits when used mindfully," however.

"It can help us to set goals, find alignment with our values, it can help us to build the self-awareness of others and it can boost our self-esteem," he told Bored Panda.

"Add to that it can also help us to make positive social choices, and it's understanding how and why we judge that gives us the ability to use it for our benefits instead of escaping our flaws or pulling others down."

Far from everyone makes errors with malicious intent. Quite often, people aren’t even aware that they’re making a mistake. Or they might not think that something that elicits judgment (like parking wrong or being late to meet someone all the friggin’ time) is actually that big of a deal. It’s selfishness and we’ve all got that, just in varying amounts.

We know that being self-aware of our own flaws is difficult. For one, nobody likes thinking that they’re less than perfect. Besides, we don’t have the luxury of seeing our behavior from a different perspective. That’s why it’s important to speak up if you see someone constantly making the same mistakes.

40 People Open Up About What Makes Them Silently Judge People People who talk really loud on the phone in quiet public places.

BlazeHDizzle Report

If you don’t hear any criticism about what you do, then it’s only natural to assume you’re ‘perfect’ and ‘flawless.’ If there’s no feedback, how can we expect someone to learn? Overly selfish people don’t change their ways at the drop of a hat. It takes a series of moments of clarity to get them to think that maybe—just maybe—they might need to rethink some things. However, some individuals find it hard to get past the embarrassment that comes from realizing they’ve been making mistakes.

"We spend a lot of time and effort presenting an ideal version of ourselves to other people. When something happens that contrasts with the image we’ve been projecting—when we say or do something that shows we actually aren’t as graceful or as smart as we’d like people to believe—we feel embarrassed," Vanessa Bohns from Cornell University explained to Bored Panda.

"Discovering you were wrong about something most everyone else around you has long known to be true is one of those moments.

From then on, she always watched him and shook her head and said things like "i would be shamed soo much if i were him". Next morning (it was in a hotel) i overheard from her family that she got a stomach bug and diarrhea and can't make it to breakfast. Well deserved

If they do it's usually because they don't have any other option and they are doing the best they can with what they have. Bars and genuine inappropriate places and times are a different story.

To be fair, voting in America is deliberately made difficult (and even moreso lately), so it's more than just crossing the street. For millions of people, it's impossible to vote without missing work, and missing work is not an option if you're especially poor or especially shackled by your employer. Then of course there's the matter of how far away the voting booth is (over an hour for some people) and how long the wait is (I think we saw over 5 hours for some people in the 2020 elections).

If I disagree with all the candidates standing, personally I think it's worse to vote for one just because you feel you have to vote for someone, and then complain when they win do exactly what the said they would.

Control of the Virginia House of Delegates was decided by a coin toss a few years ago because the last seat, which would determine which party controlled the chamber, received an equal number of votes for both candidates. The last two presidential contests were decided by a few thousand votes across three states. Statistically, voting is a big deal and makes a big difference.

I don't wish to give permission to any of the cynical, greedy, two-faced f*** I could choose from come next election. I understand how democracy (if we can call what we have in Hungary that) works and know that the consequence is that one of them will get into power by permission of others who did vote.

Unless, in your perspective, all of the parties available to vote for are to some extent compromised by corruption. In which case, offering your vote is in a certain Spirit offering your consent to it. Refusing to play the game is completely valid, as is complaining about those who govern you regardless of what your circumstances are and whether or not you voted, even if you voted for it.

Throwing others under the bus in the work place for their own personal gain. Especially when they do it in front of a group of people,

I work at a Starbucks in a grocery store and I have two regulars with scrawny, super scraggly kids and they spend $7-$10 on one or two drinks while they yell at their kid for wanting a 75 cent doughnut.

The kicker is that they're paying with food stamps.

So that. I judge that.

I feel sorry when mommy and daddy coming in for lots of beer and stronger stuff, but the kids got nothing.

When you tailgate me when there is a slow car in front of me. What a pointless action and people do it all the time. It accomplishes nothing except making the road even more dangerous than it already is.

People who don't take care of their dogs.

I'm not talking about people who don't feed some super premium dog food, or get them groomed every 2 weeks, or even those people who opt to euthanize because they can't afford a 12K surgery.

I'm talking about doing the bare f**king minimum. Take a brush and brush your dog. Find a food that doesn't give him explosive diarrhea every time he has to take a s**t. Give that little turd factory some discipline so he stops trying to maul toddlers when he inevitably dashes out your front door and across the street. For f**ks sake, run your labs and goldens until they're too tired to move any more. A tired dog is a happy dog.

I'm not always silent about it, but people at my local supermarket who refuse to return their shopping carts, but instead leave them to roll into other cars whenever the next wind gust comes along.

The last lady I confronted about this said some bulls**t that was basically blah blah blah my bad back, but she managed to push it all around the store and then fully loaded out to her car, now she suddenly can't push a now-empty cart a few more feet to the return?? Can't stand those people.

In Belgium we have to put a coin in the trolley to be able to use it. Simple solution.

Ppl hu typ lyk dis.

Or people who don't use punctuation or at least a damn full stop to break up their god damned sentences. Drives me insane and although I'm not the greatest at punctuation and grammar, I automatically think you're and idiot.

While we are at it I judge people who put too much emphasis on completely arbitrary and nonsensical rules of language grammar. Go have a heart attack correcting Shakespeare who even spelled his own name 5 different ways.

Definitely smoking cigarettes while pregnant. I can't help not judging you for that s**t.

Seriously? How hard is it to be honest and say, 'hey. This isn't working for me any longer.' Don't go around behind their backs.

Being involved in an MLM... Scentsy, Essential Oils, It Works!, etc.

It's not that I don't appreciate the fact that they are trying to better themselves. It's that I assume they are really stupid for getting suckered in the first place.

I hate when my friends in MLMs start selling to me, and it ruins the friendship when I say no. Don't assume I'm buying anything just because we're friends.

Crass public behaviour, especially while drunk. If you can't handle your alcohol without being a s**t, don't drink. Hate it.
