Why do I Feel So Judged?!
Manage episode 503268395 series 3540846
We explore how our childhood experiences shape our perception of being judged and develop strategies to break free from the weight of others' opinions.
• The feeling of being judged often stems from childhood insecurities and past experiences
• Our brains scan for social threats, especially in new environments
• The inner critic narrates how others see us based on our own insecurities
• We constantly seek evidence that reinforces our negative self-beliefs
• Parents unintentionally perpetuate judgment by focusing on outcomes rather than character traits
• Neurodivergent individuals often receive negative feedback that creates deeper feelings of being judged
• Breaking free requires recognizing thoughts aren't facts and practicing self-compassion
• Setting boundaries with critical people helps create safer relationships
• Some judgment is inevitable, but it doesn't have to define our worth
• Curating social media and surroundings to promote growth rather than perfection reduces self-judgment
