1 reflection
openness.
im a judgy bitch. yall know it. i know it. we all know it.
part of the reason im so fascinated by buddhism, stoicism, and other self-centered philosophies is because i can be so self-centered.
some examples i’ve noticed:
my conversation starters tend to be judgements, oftimes negative judgments, about the experience me and another person are sharing
ill “complain” about things and people i observe, and that’ll be a segue into common ground conversation with others
i love compartmentalizing and confining people to metaphorical “boxes” or “buckets” ill create - psychologizing them
sometimes it’s fun to be judgy. but most times it creates separation.
this past week ive been judging a bit less. a bit less of an internal dialogue. a bit less of “oh this person is cool” or “oh this person isn’t interesting” when im talking to them, nodding my head as they complain about work or some shit.
recently ive just been more open, more inquisitive, less judgmental, and slightly more open-minded in approaches to life.
and it’s been fun.
so yeah.
i know i say this every few weeks how amazing being “non-judgmental” is, but it’s true. and the often reminders is a way of me enforcing and condition it in myself.
thx.
