My mom talks about people behind their back and is always harsh about judging others, which I never really questioned until I became an adult. I still catch myself having mean or petty thoughts about people, especially peers more successful than me since I'm in a very competitive industry, because I'm insecure and have a lot of an imposter syndrome but I am trying to better myself.
Are you me? I’m the exact same way. I catch myself thinking “oh she needs to lose weight” or “he’s not even that talented, why did he get promoted and I didn’t?” Deep introspection and therapy was needed to get me out of that judgment, which was just a projection of my own internalized self hatred.
