Stop pointing out the things about people's physical appearances if they cannot fix it in 10 seconds.
If there is one talent that I think almost everybody have, maybe it is the expertise in minding other people's lives.
Admit or not, we are all guilty with this. At some point of our lives-if not all the time, we all have experience being a judger. I don't know, but I think it is already our innate.
We love magnifying the the imperfections, impurities and flaws of every people we see. May it be our friends, family or enemy. Nothing and no one can escape from the eyes of judgmental people and medler.
However, some people also stop doing this things because of some realizations and they just got tired of this attitude. But there are still type of people who never gets tired of meddling and minding other people's lives and appearances. It feels like they can't live without doing it.

Whenever you see someone you know and haven't been in touch for years, what was your usual greetings to them? What were the first thing that comes out from your mouth? Is it good? Does it encourage them? Does it speak life? Or not?
We have this very famous qoute that says, "if you have nothing nice to say, just shut the f*ck up."

Rules where created to maintain the harmony within a society or even just in a classroom. Rules plays a vital role in the lives of human being. Do you know that just like in an orgnaization, we also have rule to consider in the way we speak or utter words?
I am not pertaining to the subject verb agreement, grammars or etcetera. I am talking about the 10 seconds rule.
What is it?
Before you utter or point out something about people's appearance. Think about it first if they can fix it within ten seconds. And if not, then just leave it that way and never mention it anymore.
Importance
There's a lot of people who exeperience real struggle in their physical aspects every single day. May it be to their skin, size and body shapes. We have no idea how much they tried and fight their ownselves just to get up from the bed because of very low self-esteem. That's why, always think million times before you say something about someone's appearance. Make sure that your tongue is properly connected to your brain.
If the thing that you are going to point out cannot be fix in ten seconds, then I am 100 percent sure that they know it already. And you don't need to remind them about it over and over again.
EXAMPLE
If you were talking to someone and you saw a morning glory in the corner of their eyes (which is basically natural), then you can tell them about it since it can be fix within ten seconds.
But if you were talking to someone and she has pimples in her face. Better not mention it any longer since you cannot fix it within 10 seconds.
Maybe, just maybe, it will offend them or it was their insecurity that'll be triggered because of you.
Ayyy gusto ko ang 10 seconds rule na yan. Fair enough if you can't do something to fix it then shut up nlng talaga. Ako hindi masyado mapuna kaso sa work I can't stop a colleague from judging someone. Minsan nkakairita na rin pakinggan :(
