We use judgment to avoid the feeling of our own inadequacy, insecurities, and lack of self-worth. Instead of addressing those feelings, we look at the perceived shortcomings of others so we don’t have to face our own pain. However, projecting our judgment onto others only serves as a temporary reprieve. Not only do our own feelings of inadequacy not dissolve. To make matters worse, we also feel an unconscious sense of guilt for judging others.
