Lol nah it's true, people silently judge everyone around them and they do it to try to convince themselves they are superior. That they haven't been doing things wrong their whole lives. That their inner models for how the world works are accurate.
You just don't want to admit that humans are that shitty, that's all. Or that you are.
YOU silently judge everyone around you. You've admitted as much. You don't know what it going on in any one else's head, that's pure conjecture by you.
And so do you. I never said I was excluded from that rule. I am at least unabashedly honest about it. You just don't want to accept you are the same way.
We are nothing but selfish, indolent, avaricious, narcissistic, jealous, petty, nasty little apes who establish dominance hierarchies and silently judging others for the reasons I listed above is one of the myriad of ways in which we demonstrate our true nature and establish dominance over one another.
Convincing oneself one is superior to others is a survival mechanism. A destructive one I am going to judge you and blame you for, simply because it is the truth.
We are destructive and cruel to each other and that is what it means to be human. Accept it.
Wow, I scrolled through your history and landed one one random comment.
If you see humans default to this, it's only a reflection of yourself, and I mirror the guy who replied to you. Therepy would really help you.
Choose to see the good, or proliferate the bad, your choice.
