How to be less judgemental?
The story
how do i become less judgemental of my f****g coworkers? it's like every single day is just an exercise in biting my tongue and pretending to follow along with their decisions. Seriously, I've tried so many times to see things from their perspective and I just can't help myself from thinking they're all so... well, dumb.
I work in a pretty typical office setting, dealing with project management software and associated lingo. The absurdity of some discussions is mind-numbing!!! They're using jargon like they're experts but missing the mark entirely in practical application. I wonder if it's me being overly critical or maybe they really are kind of dense? Does anyone else deal with this on a daily basis?? There's always this niggling doubt about whether I'm seeing the full picture or perhaps missing something obvious. Yet despite acknowledging this possibility, each team meeting (a.k.a "time for my inner monologue”) feels like an episode out of 'the office' sketches: ridiculous scenarios where basic logic seems secondary to superficial buzzwords... 🤦 And here I am with my constant internal commentary while trying not to roll my eyes too obviously! Is there a way to balance out all these judgments without compromising my sanity?
