LEOS: Are we really that judgmental?

This might seem petty but I think it brings up a good point: One of my friends posted a (seemingly tabloid) picture on FB of Justin Beiber spitting on one of his fans from a balcony above and laughing at them with his friends. Idk, it was a disgusting picture and could have been made up but I didn't care - I posted "Never liked him that much." as a comment. In truth, I'm not too fond of him- he's okay, there's good things and bad things about him- but I didn't justify it as that takes too much time. The picture for me has nothing to do with it- that's my opinion from before. Another guy comments how he hates him and the pic gives him a reason to hate him even more.

THEN this other girl comes in and posts about fact checking and how people preach about not judging others and eating up whatever tabloids feed them, then makes a SEPARATE post about it and how one shouldn't look for a reason to hate people. Yeah, it annoys me a bit cuz' I feel like she's picking a fight with me somehow, but I'll admit she does make some valid points. Doesn't stop me from not liking JB, though.

Am I being judgmental here? Or is she overreacting? Leos, some people say we're judgmental- do you think we are really like that? And is there any way to stop doing so- I'm young, so of course I'm still impulsive (w/ an Aries moon), age-wise and astrologically speaking, but I'm trying to control that- I want to be more tolerant. Thoughts, anyone?

Not a Leo but I'll try to give some insight(Sag w/ Leo Moon). Leos have a strong sense of justice but like everyone else they're human. So they tend to go overboard and get into judging. I don't think that's what you were doing in your example.

At the heart of it is ego. We may think we are doing good, but in that justice is impartial and ego means vindication. That's personal and not impartial. Just have to remember that there is a difference between justice being blind and blind justice. I don't think Leos are judgemental overall but they make mistakes like everyone else. Gotta what out for being condescending lol

LOL @ Jynja and xdimplez- I can already feel dxp consuming me.

@beautifulsoul - Yeah, I get what you're saying. I do tend to go overboard even though I don't really mean to hurt anybody that way. Most of the time I don't even know I did something wrong until I read it in the atmosphere later on. That's the Leo ego for ya. -_- Good words though!

@Superseven - I have the same definition for judgmental in my book. I'll def look up the thought inhibiting thing later. But you're on point about a virgo placement- I have my mercury in virgo. Still, I'd like to consider myself pretty chill, haha.

@CluelessCancer - Great point. I try not to judge people but everyone has an impression on someone and usually it's the first impression that sticks the most. Idk, can't really deny the fact but I still keep some reserve open for second chances when it comes to people.

Judgemental, no. Selective, yes. BTW, I have an Aries Moon too. I don't judge people, we are all human and have the capacity to make poor choices and decisions. Some of us learn from them and some of us don't. I am very independent and autonomous in my life. I truly believe who you surround yourself with is who you are. So I find myself to be very selective in who I like and don't like and pretty strong in my beliefs. So if someone has characteristics I don't find appeasing I just write them off. Nothing against them I just don't want that in my life. In this situation, you have your opinion. You recognized valid arguments the op had but the didn't hold credence in what you believed. Nothing wrong with that.

*meant to say who I like in my life and don't want in my life.

All good answers, everyone.

@TheLioness79: Wise words. Makes me feel a little better. I just acknowledged her defense and moved on, and I'll probably be doing that for whatever happens in the rest of my life. Thanks.

@Grey: Not sure if this is astrologically supported, but I've known for a long time that I've needed to grow a backbone, lol. Thanks for the encouragement. 🙂

In your case if anyone didnt like my opinion about someone they could just get hurt by my words or hit their head to wall tell they fucking die =). Actually, my friends have that note about me sometimes they tell me how Im judgmental specially when we talk about actors and actresses if I didnt like something or FELT that something is just not right in that person which all happen to be cancers who take these judgments, sometimes I was wrong actually and they joke about such things every day 🙂

## BUT I got to mention a lesson Ive learned in high school -few years ago- I was judging a Cancer friend and told an old sag friend about it -was the closest- everyone liked him as a person -we were few friends- something in him was just somehow wrong -he was too competitive and couldnt stand that I was better in a lot of things inside him it burnt him alive and couldnt hide that- however after a while he succeeded perfectly to make problems between me and the rest -which I was even doubting before but somehow against my judgement as my friends disagreed with me- telling them that I said bad things about them and making some reputation which they all figured out I didnt after we were separate , damn I was right>> so Ive learned to keep the judgmental side just develop its ways.

I learned the same lesson too unfortunately, but instead of one person, I had a group of them to deal with. I regret that mistake so much- it still hurts even after a year has passed and the only reason it happened was b/c I brushed it off thinking I was being too judgmental at that time. Still, one has to move on right? I figure in this particular matter it's okay- she's just tripping. I may as well hold on to this judgmental side but maybe just exercise a bit more prudence in letting it out.

@Nala- LOL, haters ARE gonna hate.

@Leonyne

Its your mercury in Virgo kiddo. I'm willing to bet that that facebook user observed you showing that aspect of your self(being judgemental) in different circumstances. The first stwp to solving a problem is awareness, now that you're aware of it lets work on that.

Okay!

And even if it didn't happen, it's still Bieber. The kid's conduct is pretty ridiculous. You can find any number of other instances that make you wonder where parents/society went wrong with him.

If you're worried about being judgemental, I'd choose a topic/problem/instance, that *doesn't* lend itself to completely valid judgmentalism because there's such a paucity of evidence to suggest there *shouldn't* be.

If you recognize an obvious lack of boundaries in others, feel free to let that serve as a warning. You can be fair *and* keep your eyes open at the same time.

Thank you Seraph, for at least thinking the situation is valid enough for my kind of rxn. Tbh, it's the most recent case that made me think about it, that's why it's here- and it IS really petty as I said before to warrant serious answers for the situation, but for the point I'm trying to make with every Leo (are we judgmental?) I thought it was ok to share.

I'm just chalking it up to: I had an opinion. Girl tripped and I still didn't change my mind. I realize now (thanx to you) that bieber fan-girl didn't research- I didn't either, but she still jumped the gun and started preaching about not judging others when she literally assumed stuff too. Sometimes I feel like I am being judgmental but then later on I find out I'm right- I guess I'm just second-guessing my intuition here because unfortunately I'm too softhearted.

But thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.
