Try to ignore the stares of self-righteous pigs. Many young women/mothers feel these judgements, whether legitimate or imagined. It's a really uncomfortable place to be, but you will grow beyond it, just keep your head up. As for the part about men getting no slack...welcome to womanhood, get used to it. Us women carry the world on our shoulders and the men strap a saddle on the globe and ride on their superior justifications...unless the hot place freezes over, men will always get away with chillin' in the lounger with the remote glued in one hand and a beer in the other...a sad fact of life  |

I know what you mean. People see the bad things or mistakes that we have done in our lives and they only reflect on that, not the good that or successful things we have done. I guess some people are very judgemental and they should not be, because after all, no one is perfect in this world. It does not matter if you are a celebirity or a model or actress, we all have had our mistakes in life. But, what we can walk away with, is knowing that it is life's lessons that we encounter and we have to overcome that.  |

Yes but doesnt it get tiring having to deal with their judgements or preconceived notions? Guess there is really not a whole lot you can do about that though people are people and they are not going to change much we can only change ourselves and try not to do the same to others  |

SC and Jessica are so right. How easy to pass judgements and make descisions about others without ever walking in their shoes.  |

LOL yes Stacie (do you spell it with an IE or a Y) I know what you mean it is not just those people though it is people in general who make assumptions or judgements that were irritating me last night. As usual a good night's sleep brings a fresh day and I can let go of what waas bothering me yesterday. Thanks for your replies though ((HUGS))  |

People can be so shallow sometimes. I always try to look the othe way but sometimes it can be so hard! Just keep your head up when these things happen and try not to sink down to thier level! Remember to always smile back, very brightly!  |

People will always try to judge you, in everything you do. I wouldn't worry about it that much, it's the way the world is. I either ignore them or feel sorry for them. I mean how sad must their lives be if they have nothing better to do than make pre-concieved notions of strangers at Wal*Mart, lol. As long as you are happy with your life and you feel comfortable let other people think want they want. ~Gabrielle~  |

Judgement is a sign of ignorance and we've all been guilty of it. If you let yourself be affected by what people say then you are giving them permission to hurt you. People who judge usually have something in their own lives that they are ashamed of and are fearful of being judged themselves. If these people don't mean anything to you then don't let what they say mean anything to you. It is often the case that a person who is hurt by someone's judgment usually feels that way also about themselves. So always ask yourself if what they say is something you agree with deep down. Let it be water off a duck's back and don't associate with those people if you can help it. I wish you well.  |
