Judging Society? Or Our own judging imagination? 

Do We Really Live In A Judging Society?     

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope life is great in your part of the World! Let’s breathe and smile.

As I said many times, I was growing up as a perfectionist, an introvert, a nerd, and a social reject. Wow! How did I make it so far?

Well, I really like learning something new, I like developing new skills. I’ve learned every craft I could. And in fact, I still like it.

One thing I was really lacking was people skills. And I would not do anything that had to do with people to save my life! Perhaps, for me it was the sabotage of my inner perfectionist. Of course, I would not be perfect. So, what would people say about such a sloppy move? They would definitely laugh and remember, and make a community joke out of me. And everybody would point their fingers in my direction every time they see me. And my ego would not like it.

Well, I’ve learned a couple of things along the way.

One, I read multiple times that if I laugh at my own mistakes, than nobody would have any reason to make a joke out of me. They may, however, if they see me being so serious and uptight, and making more stupid mistakes while I’m angry. It took me a while to try this, I had to do a lot of negotiation with my ego. But it works every time.

Two, people are concerned about themselves, not about me. Whatever happens what I may think is important, only looks so because it is about me. Other people won’t care unless it involves them somehow. If not, they will forget about you and what you did within a minute.

I think we are responsible for our own alienation. What will people think about me? They won’t care, because they’re too busy thinking, what will you and I think about them. Think about that.

Thanks for stopping by.
