  • One of the most important changes I've made is being less judgmental, and I only recently realised what an incredibly positive impact it's had on my life.
    In this video, I also challenge myself to film in public. I want to be able to film whenever and wherever I want, without feeling restricted. At the end of the video I share some of my thoughts on how I think it went.

      I think everyone is judgmental to a degree. It also seems to be very involuntary, since you have to really choose not to be judgmental.
      Or at least put it aside and act accordingly.
      And I do believe judgement is good to have when using it to determine certain things.
      Obviously you don't want to be with people that are destructive and terrible to be around. You'd have to be judgmental to acknowledge something like that and take precautions when needed.

      Interesting video.
      When you are being unjugdemental, are you not expressing your opinions out loud to anyone, not even to yourself? Or are you suppressing your brain from forming those opinions in the first place?

      To the people asking about it: Honestly, I judged people for a long time and I don’t know why. I used to be super depressed and insecure with social anxiety, so you can understand how I felt. I decided something needed to change, starting with me judgement. Every time I had one negative thought about someone else, I quickly thought of something I liked about them. That’s what worked me. I realized the reason I was so insecure is because I was judgmental, not just for others, but towards myself, as well. I learned to love myself and appreciate the people around me.

    Here’s a tip on how to be less judgemental: if the first thought that comes to your mind is judgy reinforce it with a second thought that is nicer and compliments that person. For example the first thought could be “wow they look trashy” the second thought afterwards could compliment what you just judged like “they’re eyes are pretty” or “they look like a nice person.” The first thought is what you’ve been trained to think but the second thought always shows your true character.

      Complete nonsense.
      Take what ever it is that you define as the opposite of hate (perhaps some people call that love) and even then for all practical purposes it's a conditional occurrence and therefore it fundamentally depends on judgement and being judgemental.

Judging a movie by being really mean about it wont accomplish anything but make people dislike you. If you just state your opinion neutrally it's much more kind and makes you more fun to be with. I think also in general you will be more likeable if you're less negatively judgemental. It's just that judgement is now associated with negativity.

      I don't disagree with any of that.
      The essence of my point is nothing more than it's impossible to not be judgemental if you have any preferences (that isn't bad).
      Suggesting it's the judgement which is bad ("judgement is a form of hate") is simply incorrect, which is evident by my example that even something which defined as the complete opposite as hate, still requires judgement.
      Being a negative or hateful person is a different topic altogether but again I see your point✌️✌

    This is so weird. I just had this talk with my boyfriend before watching this video, bit different but with the same result. I started analyzing why I was always so irritated at everything lately. Like, literally EVERYTHING. Obviously before jumping into the conclusion that I had anger issues I decided to self analyze myself and I started to notice that every negative thought I had about anybody and including my persona is what was affecting me so much. It’s been a bit over a week that I decided to stop being so judge mental and I can’t say with certainty that it will 100 % work but given the circumstances right now of not being able to go out I will continue this journey and I’m positive this will work out for me in the long run because I’m feeling much better mentally. And as I came across this old video of yours it has reinforced the idea to continue this method. So in a way, thank you!

    Growing up, I am surrounded by judgemental relatives that makes me so insecure now. Sometimes, I know, I am also being judgmental to others too, but I get so guilty easily. I am not comfortable talking about other person's business or issues, especially if the person being talked about is not with us, it makes me feel like these people around me also does the same thing to me when I am not around them. I'm trying to build my confidence but being surrounded by judgmental people makes it so hard.

    My reflection after I've watch the whole episode. I've been judgemental about this video at first. I've watched first couple minutes then I thought I know everything what you're gonna say and wanted to stop there. Glad I didn't. There is always something we can add on while discussing or rethinking the same topic we went through. No matter how many times we did.
    I really enjoy your calm attitude and that you think before you talk.

    I turned my back on judgementalism(another ism) when I heared Craig Ferguson at Larry Kings show say it's the type of person he hates most.
    Thing is. I was very judgemental in my early life, and when my own life got tough and I wasn't able to handle it properly I met the other side of that coin. And now I regret having ever been so arrogant.

    I recognise so much of myself in you from when I was your age, except for those exceptionally good looks of yours, dear Lana.
    You’re going about overcoming your anxieties in just the right way. In my own case, I overcame my fear of being among people in crowded public spaces by purchasing a lovely, ancient yet very trusty Leica M6J, complete with 35mm Summicron lens and lots of roles of Kodak’s excellent Tri-X 400 film with which I, by sheer accident, began my career in forensic war- and reportage-photography.
    More or less shoving my camera and lens in people’s faces and risking them not especially liking it helped me overcome several other anxieties as well.
    Keep up your good videos and in a few years from now, with any luck, Sweden and the world might think of you in equal terms as Sissela Bok.

    Being less judgemental essentially opens you up to an entire world you couldn't access before.
    I feel like it also has a noticeable physiological effect, you feel like you have more room to breath. You're not in a constant state of both defence and attack but rather embody a measured openness to life and therefore are able to accept more of its "gifts". As you stated, these come in the form of stronger, more genuine relationships, engagement in deeper more balanced conversation about film, music and so on. Funnily enough it also gives a greater sense of responsibility to other people as you pointed out when you mentioned you could give better advice.
    Shed judgement and its effects are profound. Nice video!

    The only person I really judge is myself, and what I’ve been trying to help myself understand is that the majority of everyone has a very similar mindset. I am the type of person to read over my texts four or five times before sending it to try to make sure it sounds chill, but not too rude or casual at the same time. It sounds psychotic, but really I just have extremely terrible social anxiety even though I love my friends and hanging out. I will literally come back home from a nice lunch with friends or a party and cry til I have a migraine and have to force myself to sleep just thinking about how much I hate myself. I’ve been pushing myself lately to go out of my comfort zone and coaching myself to fight against my social anxiety by joining my university’s committees and volunteering in orgs because it gets in the way of so many opportunities.
