The good thing about judgment is that you have to agree with it in order to feel bad. They may judge you, but you alone determine whether you feel guilty or not. You can step out of any EIP’s distorted judgments as soon as you feel free to disagree with their opinions. You can decline to accept their criticism and make a distinction between what they’re saying about you and what you know to be true about yourself. Remember, just because an EIP feels something is true, doesn’t necessarily mean it is. You get to define yourself, not them. Decline their judgment if you don’t think it’s fair.
