Judgement doesn’t just damage relationships, it often starts internally.
The moment you tell yourself “I’ve stuffed this up,” “I’m failing here,” or “I’m not good at this,” your body tightens, your thinking narrows, and you either shut down or go on the defensive.
That internal attack leaks into how you listen, how you respond, and how safe the conversation feels for the person in front of you.
Here’s the line in the sand: stop letting judgement run your relationships. Especially the judgement you aim at yourself.
Catch it. Name it. Slow the moment.
