Being judgmental often carries negative connotations and is seen as making harsh or unreasonable judgments about others. But it's always crucial to make sound judgments and improve decision coherence. Understanding and empathy are viewed more positively than being judgmental.
Reasons for judgmental behavior: Judgmental attitudes may arise from insecurity or past experiences. It can stem from a desire to feel smart, superior, or in control. Making quick judgments can be a habit or way to cope with boredom or discomfort.
Moving from judgmental to understanding:
-Pause before making judgments and try to understand the other person's perspective.
-Be aware of your own biases and motivations for judging others.
-Practice empathy and imagine the circumstances that led to someone's actions.

Techniques to be less judgmental:
-The DUAL method: Don't judge, Understand, Accept, Enjoy.
-Increase self-awareness of judgmental thoughts.
-Actively practice empathy and perspective-taking.
-Focus on understanding rather than criticizing.
