Judgemental

Wow I am so quick to forgot how I was yesterday and compare others to myself today. It's because of this sharing judgements with someone who doesn't corroborate but challenges you can be so healthy.

It seems I am particularly quick to judge my family. I wonder why this is. Could it be because I use 'never knowing the full background and story' as a reason not to judge others which I feel less applicable to people I know so intimately? Is it because I hold them to a higher standard? And if so, why? Is it because I am able to intervene and help them make a change and I get frustrated at how close I am, how easy it could be, and how it doesn't change?

Perhaps it is driven by a sense of them being an extension of myself, and they way they act thereby reflecting on me.

Or is it a protective mechanism, one to keep me in a state of 'better than'. Being able to compare myself to my parents and siblings who shared so much with me and label myself champion of the circumstances.

Or maybe I just care about them more. I wonder if judgement is linked to caring more or less about someone.
