More difficult and controversial ones like "This guy/girl is really nice looking and friendly, but he/she has sex with a lot of people and may be spreading STDs so I'm staying away from him/her."
We each make our own judgments in life and have to live with the consequences.
And if you're politically correct, you probably think I'm terrible for judging you, and everyone else. Enjoy that feeling you have about me, it's called a judgment. Yep, you judged me. That makes you terrible too, and a hypocrite to boot.
Also, leading up to exercising our best judgment is developing better judgment, we do so only with practice and that does involve judging ourselves and others (not all judgment is bad).
That being said, it's often to reserved judgment and find out more information...or just suspend judgment indefinitely when picking our battles.
Best thing to do is just accept that fact of human nature, keep doing what your doing, and move on with life. And try to catch yourself before you judge. (You won't be successful 100% but hey, who am I to Judge?)
it's a hobby
"Jesus said: "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matthew 7:1). Does this mean we are never to judge? Certainly not, for Jesus also said: "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment" (John 7:24). We are commanded to exercise righteous judgment. We are forbidden to judge when we are not qualified to do so."
"Jesus said: "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck out of your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye" (Matthew 7:1-5)."
If we condemn someone for something we do ourselves, we bring condemnation upon ourselves.
At the same time "Judge not, that you be not judged" is often the wailing cry of false teachers and hardened sinners who misapply the verse to ward off censure for their evil d...

Matthew 7:1“Stop judging that YOU may not be judged; 2for with what judgment YOU are judging, YOU will be judged; and with the measure that YOU are measuring out, they will measure out to YOU. 3Why, then, do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the rafter in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Allow me to extract the straw from your eye’; when, look! a rafter is in your own eye? 5Hypocrite! First extract the rafter from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to extract the straw from your brother’s eye.
Others are judged by the same standards that are applied to ourselves.
Consider , even by disagreeing or agreeing , you would then be making a judgement .
To be nonjudgmental would to be say there is no such thing as a crime .
That nothing is rude , offensive and there are not standards of behavior.
