If you wanna know someone& #39;s deepest insecurities pay attention to what they judge the most in other people
This is a good exercise for self awareness also. For example, I tend to judge people who lack common sense and are easily fooled. After doing some soul searching I discovered that I do this because of the many times I was manipulated/deceived in the past
So there& #39;s a part of me that still feels a level of shame over the way I allowed people to manipulate me and take advantage of me. So when I& #39;m shaming other people for being gullable/naive, I& #39;m also shaming my past self. Which slows down my healing/growth
To combat this, I have to catch myself in the act and send love to the past version of me. And remind myself that I didn& #39;t know better. Which in turn allows me to tone down the judgment of other people because they also don& #39;t know better. And that& #39;s nothing to be ashamed of.
This self awareness thing is not for the faint of heart lol but it& #39;s necessary.
It helps you to love yourself and accept yourself. Which in turn helps you to love and accept others.
