I’ve never thought of it as being judgmental really, but I guess I am. I prefer to not invest a bunch of time in cultivating friendships with people that I don’t have a good feeling about because of things they have said or did. We all know what our tolerance level is for friends and that isn’t a bad thing. I think of it as being self-aware. I know that I can’t put up with people that take my friendship for granted or pull stupid tricks, so why waste my time on them? This probably also explains why I have a very small circle of friends. I’m not worth the hassle either perhaps. LOL

Ya. I’m all about live and let live and I will support anyone’s right to do that as long as they’re not hurting anyone, BUT for people I let into my life? I’m not so liberal. I have a very, very small circle of intimates who I trust and a larger circle of friendly acquaintances who I will hang out with but not get too close to. Like you, I feel I have a pretty finely honed instinct about people from the get-go. Hey – if it serves you well, celebrate it!

Ooohhh, I am SO judgmental—but I’m also okay with that.

I used to say I wasn’t judgmental, or tried not to be, or suppressed the judgment, and that did. not. work.

So now I recognize that I am quick to judge, and that recognition allows me reconsider those judgments. Being honest about my judgmentalism has given me a way, sometimes, to move beyond it.

I can be a cuss, but I try not to be a (permanently) close-minded one.

Oh I’m judgmental as hell. The first second I meet someone, I’m all “you suck” or “you rock.” I wish I weren’t that way, but I have to admit that. What’s weird in the blogosphere is that I read people’s stuff and think they rock and then – and this is TERRIBLE – but I’ll hear their voice in a video, or read comments they left on someone else’s site, and I can’t stand them anymore.

I’d say you’re an angel, quite frankly. And yes, it’s self-preservation.
