Makeup used to be a necessity everyday and now it's more depends on where I'm going! I'm also 8 months pregnant and dying from the heat so I get to be extra uncomfortable while shopping those Target aisles with my 2.5 yr old boy. Hopefully people don't judge too harshly while I struggle to get into my car with all the crap sold at Target.

For instance, I'll pass people on the highway or at a stop light and think "I wonder where they're going, or where they're coming from; or what brought them to this very moment." <br /><br />I tend to ponder that question of "what brought them to this moment, right here, right now." :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684728586790486077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645105390063604360.post-73512435261413142122012-07-17T17:50:04.256-04:002012-07-17T17:50:04.256-04:00You are not alone at all!!

I have to say that for me personally I am always feeling like people are watching me, and wondering what I am up to or who I am because I am an Nanny of two and I am only 23 myself so they are always looking at me like could that 8 year old really be hers?! But when I look at people for me it is a thing I do in longing like, "wow that dress is cute and she has an amazing body to pull it off too!" those kinds of thoughts always cross my mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943016973622603534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645105390063604360.post-58156539721822392062012-07-17T15:35:25.203-04:002012-07-17T15:35:25.203-04:00I'm a total judge!

And in my opinion judging helps me be a better me, because I am the mom with two under two and I don't want to be that mom with two under two wearing the same sweats all week. If I hadn't made that judgment I'd probably be showering a lot less at this point!Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931384115585798915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645105390063604360.post-27419471027721350922012-07-17T15:35:10.358-04:002012-07-17T15:35:10.358-04:00I'm really bad at judging people.

I am always watching people and 99% of the time give them the benefit out of the doubt, but I feel like people don't was do that for me. I've been told several times that when someone first meets me they think I'm stuck up, when in reality I'm just quiet. Once I warm up then you can't get me to stop talking and you find out that I'm super boring. It's difficult sometimes to give people a chance, but I think that's why I don't jump to conclusions all the time because I know how it feels. Great post!

I do agree with her. Of course we all look at people and think WTF sometimes when it comes to behaviors, etc. But I learned never to judge how "cute" someone is or whatever based on how they look, their clothes, their weight, whatever. You never know what someone is going through. <br /><br />That being said, I'm not perfect. Far from it. Of course it's fun to make up stories with your SO about the people walking past you. My BF and I even go so far as to say "Oooh, man, get your pants back!" if someone walks by with some crazy hot-pink sweats. Yes, it's funny. But it's not right. And Summer up there reminded me of that.Christine AKA Girl Versus Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233656527131177055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645105390063604360.post-61531547727073536242012-07-17T10:09:58.768-04:002012-07-17T10:09:58.768-04:00YES!!!

Nice. I think it's just more general curiosity than judging? Or if I see someone doing something socially unacceptable, then I always try to figure out why- like what is going on in their life that would make them think that's okay.

I consider people watching a hobby and remember making up "stories" about people as far back as I can remember...particularly in restaurants or when I'm on a long car trip and see other families in their cars. A few weeks ago I had to stop my husband from actually approaching the couple next to us at Cheesecake Factory and asking if they were on their first date. I think it's totally human nature to judge and wonder about people. I am guilty of this. I try to keep in mind, though, that everyone is involved in their own sort of cosmic struggle of sorts no matter how put together or disheveled they appear ;)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782533450751702438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645105390063604360.post-42999763464783751942012-07-17T09:37:48.087-04:002012-07-17T09:37:48.087-04:00Totally do this all the time.
