You cannot control other people’s thoughts and actions..
But the good news is: “ you can control your thoughts,actions and reactions to them”.
People are going to judge, regardless of whether you are the best or the worst. The owners is on you to love and respect your ownself enough to not let people’s judgements leave any marks on you.
Trust me when I say this that neither the person who is passing the judgement nor those who are listening or agreeing actually value their own statements. It is not personal,they need to find someone to judge because it makes them feel more better. It’s their own hidden insecurities that they are trying to mask unconciously. Please understand they are not bad people, they are just not so much in control of their ownselves and they are finding easy approaches to deal with their own inner vaccuum or sometimes they aren’t much worldwise and mature to be able to comprehend your values and behaviours ; so once again they are resorting to the easy way of judging others.
Now it depends on you if you want to measure yourself on a scale set by others or you want to have your goals that you want to achieve.
Be self analytical and self aware always,also be open to new perspectives and you will reach a point where gossips and judgements won’t affect you.
A short-sighted solution for this will be to be more powerful then them and if possible find out their weakness/mistakes- trust me they won’t ever try to judge you loud. But you still can’t change what goes on in their minds and shows in their eyes..
