Do you fear judgement?

No, I have done some things that were less than noble in the past and in the future will assuredly make more mistakes. In spite of this I am a good person and I have done the best with what life has dealt me. I have no regrets and I am not afraid.

fear of rejection and loneliness on the otherhand.. :P

:D

Rejection and loneliness... I'd say I fear those less than judgement...

[soulview.livejournal.com]

No. My fear of rejection outweighs this one by a mile or twenty or so.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Rejection.... I fear it, but I know that it's survivable... I can handle that one...

Everyone fears judgement. Anyone who believes otherwise is lying to themselves or e;se is a true sociopath.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Heh... I'd say that people who believe they've led a good life may fear it less... the cynical side of me may think they're in denial about it, but the optimist usually overrules that :D

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Mind you, I was being clinical about my answer because as homo sapien is a social animal, I truly believe that the fear of judgment is a visceral and hardwired part of the human condition. I do take comfort in the optimistic point of view, though. ;)

Not really, No. Everyone passes some form of judgement for every kind of situation. I can't really be afraid because George Bush thinks democrats are bad people. I don't much care that my smokeing is unacceptable to all nonsmokers and that they think less of me for happily tokeing away on my Marlboro. My friends are only my friends if they accept all of me as I am. Mistakes and good times. If they judge something so harshly as to have that opinion out weight the friendship then they weren't really my friend in the first place. No real loss there. LJ peeps each have their own opinion on me, my parenting, my family, whatever. Anyone is allowed to pass judgement on what ever they feel they need to but it doesn't mean I have to put any belief in what they decide. And when I die if am judged in total for my lifes transgressions and sacrafices it will at least be based on fact and truths. Need I fear it? No. I don't think I have done or ever will do anything to cause me fear of my final judgement!


And.. HELLO!! Your online right now too so Good morning!!

I think we all do at least at some point in our lives.  I think the fear comes from whether the judgement is based on actual truth or an individual's perception of such.  The trick is deciding on whether or not that judgement really has any bearing on you and where you want to go in life.  As the old saying goes, you can take it with a grain of salt or a pound of wisdom...only you can decide which is best for you.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yep... :)

Absolutely. I hate being judged, but it's constantly happening in our society. I can accept that. What I can't accept is friends and family judging actions as wrong when you know they are right for everyone involved, even if they're unconventional. I've had more experience with that than I'd like to admit.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that can be very painful... **hugs you**

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Ha! No.

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

I am aware the judgement happens, and I judge people constantly, but do I fear it? Not really, because people's opinions matter jack to me. I figure my friends are people who like me for who I am, one way or another. And I don't fear their judgements either.
I are who I are, and if there is a problem with that, it's not mine.
That's the freedom in which I reside.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That is a good freedom... :D

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Not even a little

[markbuster.livejournal.com]

I could stand before my maker today, and say "This is the game I played with the cards I was dealt".

Re: Not even a little

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

That is a great answer :D

[laurel714.livejournal.com]

No.

I try to live my life so that I enjoy the adventure, but leave nothing in my wake but my footprints. On a cosmic scale, I think I'm doing okay. I don't worry too much about being judged by society. I generally don't care what people think. I trust that people I value either accept me as I am or set me straight when I need it.

:)

That is wonderful :)

[crescent-fresh.livejournal.com]

not as much as the sentencing.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

The sentencing... Yes... That can be very tough...
