I have really never paid attention to judgmental things because I always have just written it off as their OPINION & that is theirs not mine.

I actually grew up around one grandfather & my dad who were very uneducatedly opinionated..
.so my personal experience with that kind of person always lacked education. I know this is not true now but it was what I grew up around so until I learned better that was what I thought. With that thinking however I never placed any value on others judgments & I would listen to opinions & discard anything that did not come through as logical (even as a kid)

As a kid I would just avoid people like that as much as possible but I was also good at calling them on it too when it came to family I had to live around.

I never dealt with MI until my situation drove me to in in my mid 40's....the judgmental crap I experienced was about other things than MI issues. Anything judgmental after that point about my mental health issues I just blew off like I had all the other judgmental crap I had encountered before then.

Glad that is over now too & the MI has been treated & the situation is resolved
