On the subject of "judgement" included in one of your articles/post.
My question is-what is the difference between being judgmental and pointing out the facts of a situation? I responded, to a very judgmental comment, with the facts. Now I am being accused of being judgmental. My response was to clarify a situation with true facts. Seems a person who responds to a judgement call is also accused of being judgmental. Is this how it should be? Thanks

Has anyone successfully landed a job out of state?
I'm in the final stages of possibly landing a job at a phenomenal company out of state, in an area I'd love to move to. My SO and I would rent out there but we need to sell our house first. His job is flexible so no issue there and we don't have kids. Luckily we live in a desirable area where the houses…

I was made redundant last December, just after returning from maternity leave, and it was a tough time with a little one at home.
Since then, I’ve been actively applying for jobs but rarely hear back. When asked why I’m looking for a new job in interviews, I haven’t always been sincere, giving different reasons. Recently, I decided to be upfront and told an interviewer that I was made redundant. But their response thre…

Judgment is subjectivity and facts are objective
Anonymous
I don't know what the original comment thread was about so it's hard to say for sure what was going on. However, if a person is in denial about something, they can see facts as judgmental. Example: someone smokes tobacco cigarettes but scoffs when someone is worried about their health, advising them to stop smoking and citing cancer risks. The first person was stating facts that a smoker has a higher cancer risk than a nonsmoker, but the second person took it as being judgmental of their lifestyle instead of a message of sincere concern. Further conversation could clear this up. If this was someone on the Internet that you don't even know, just don't continue the conversation. Let it go.There are people who are looking for a fight, even if it's over trivial things. On the other hand, if this happened at work with someone you will continue to work with, having a private conversation to clarify what was meant would be a very good idea.
