What do you Cappies think about your sence of judgement? Do you find it adequate? Do you think you judge people fairly? What your statistics do say? How many times you've encountered that your judgement about a person were right? How many times wrong? Which one of these two overpowers the other?

I'm an aqua with cap mercury and cap venus and I would say my objective judgement is pretty good, I'd give it 80% . When ti gets to subjective stuff my reasoning and criticial/analytical skills are not so good, I'd give my judgemental skills here 45% .

Aguaaqi you sound somewhat similar to myself in that way of being diifident and unsure what behavior to assume in a social setting. I think that we should really just give ourselves a break in this regard. I mean if you watch yourself andover analyse yourself in any daily mundane activity, for example walking or eating, then you can start to notice "irregularities" about how you carry out this taken for granted function. It's just that we don't tend to pay too much attention to our eating and walking function. We should really do the same with our social interaction and not be so self critical. That's the opinion I'm starting to attain about myself and my "hang ups" in the social arena.I should really just loosen up and not be so hard on myself.

...and putting a sock in your own
HAHAHA!!
Aguaaqi what you said in your last post but one about having curtailed your predisposition to say what you think regardless of the nature of what you're saying or the people who may take offence, surely this is just a sign of maturity that reflects a well developed sense of social propriety, and there is nothing wrong or socially lacking in displaying this trait. The only thing again that you should try to curb (I'm conjecturing somewhat as I don't know you or understand the reality of your particular situation) is your own critical and excessively high standards you place on yours social self.

But really Haffo, I know this goes against human nature, but it's not right to judge others at all. After all, we never know what that person has been through, or why they are behaving a certain way. Maybe someone close to them has died, maybe their lover has cheated on them, maybe they have been abused, maybe they have a chemical imbalance, so we never know and shouldn't judge unless we've experienced the exact same mixture of events, which can't happen because everyone?s experience is unique. I don't follow this, because I forget to practice non judgment, but I wish we were programmed this way, because it is right...and not wrong ...that's my wish.
I disagree. Judging others is natural process of learning. If you don't know the truth, you will learn it by saying what you think. If you know the truth, you'll teach people to it. So what really matters here is truth. Our social skills usually lack because of lack of knowledge of truth. It never happens because of shyness etc. I think shyness is not a natural trait, it's a make up or kind of adaptation of lack of knowledge. We all do lack knowledge most of the time.
