Publish Not your original work? Add source Shame can be both productive and toxic, there's no doubt about it. It may make us lift our rears and get things done, and sometimes we all need that extra push of "I am gonna show 'em all.'' But the truth is, people can get real nosy and may want to get into stuff that has little to do with their business. So when Redditor u/Dodongicepick posed a question "What is a healthy behavior that people shame others for?" on r/AskReddit, it seems like it really hit a soft spot for many. People are now sharing all the eye-opening stuff that often becomes a target of undeserved criticism and it makes you wonder how on earth this has become the norm. Just let them live! Below are the most interesting responses, so scroll through and be sure to share what you think of it in the comments section! This post may include affiliate links. #1 Spending time alone. Seriously, you think me spending a week talking to nobody is the issue? How about the fact that you can't spend 5 minutes alone in fear of accidentally reflecting upon yourself? Grendel_Grim , Anthony Tran Report Final score: 291points POST Caro Caro Caro Caro Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Love being alone.

I have been in situations where I have sat and listened to people talking about how they would NEVER take medications. I have had depression since I was 8. 41 years of struggles and it is offensive and it hurts when people do that. F**k all of you for judging. My_fair_ladies1872 , Nastya Dulhiier Report Final score: 287points POST Marc Marc Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago People will always be people. Which is sad, but true. They will always judge others. My wife had to take meds because of a depression after our second daughter was born. She first tried to get through it without meds, but it got only worse. After she got help, she quickly got better and doesn't need meds anymore today. Bottom line is - If you need help, seek for help. Don't let others and their opionions hold you back. Your health is more important than what others might be thinking of you! 50 50points reply View More Replies... View more comments #3 Choosing not to have kids if you don't feel like you'd be a good/happy parent or be able to support them (emotionally, mentally, financially, socially).

Like I don't think I really want kids because I don't think it would be good for me/I wouldn't be super happy as a mom.

I'm on my way to full financial stability but I won't even consider it until I'm there. My mom keeps pushing me to have a kid even though I still drive an 08 piece of shit, rent, and have $60k student loans. Like, I'm not there, my kid is gonna have to go without like I did and I personally don't want to actively try to have a kid so they can go without.

If I did change my mind, I would want to make sure they had a really fulfilling life. My mom had me because she wanted a kid. She got knocked up by a dude that didn't want me so I grew up without a dad. She was a poor, alcoholic. I grew up shit and hated most of my childhood. I don't want to be selfish like her and inflict that on a kid "just because I wanted a kid".

Being able to acknowledge that you are not financially and emotionally willing to have a child is one of the smartest decisions you can make as an adult. 89 89points reply View More Replies... View more comments To find out more about why exactly some people tend to be more judgmental than others, we reached out to Dr. Lise Deguire, clinical psychologist and author of a multiple award-winning book "Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor." "In my clinical experience, the people who are most judgmental towards others are secretly the most harshly judgmental towards themselves. Inside, these people are highly self-critical. It is no wonder, then, that they treat others the same way they treat themselves, critically and harshly. Frequently, when these people learn to be more loving and accepting towards themselves, they also become more tolerant and sympathetic towards others," Dr. Lise explained. #4 Doing things that are normally thought of as social activities by yourself.

The hotties were all too busy checking each other out to pay attention to the heavier or older folks. 49 49points reply View More Replies... View more comments The clinical psychologist explained that people's judgment and criticism of us feels terrible, sometimes even devastating. "When this happens, the first thing to do is to notice your own pain and distress and to treat yourself kindly. It hurts, plain and simple. Having compassion for your pain will help you bear it." "Once you have recovered from the hurt of being judged, it is good to remember that anyone judging you that harshly is probably in a lot of pain themselves," Lise said and added that awareness may help you to move beyond the hurt of the moment. #7 Talking to yourself.

it's a good way to problem solve or even just vent about something.

View more comments #16 Being single. I had this horrible experience where I wanted to be single for a bit and also just wasn't meeting anyone I was really interested in. I was perfectly fine with not having a boyfriend but my friends hounded me about it constantly. Always asking me why I was single, telling me I was too picky, would show up to hangouts with men and ask me why I didn't go for it. Me saying I was fine with being single was never a good enough answer. So I started to feel self-conscious about being single, felt like I was under a microscope so if I did meet someone I felt uncomfortable having my friends cheering me on. I was young so I didn't know how to handle it so I just kind of dealt with it but it sucked. Let your single friends be single unless they are asking for your help, advice, and opinions. SailorSpoon11 Report Final score: 160points POST Red rockin lobster Red rockin lobster Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago In my experience, it is very good to be single in some period of life. I used that time to learn how to be alone, to learn about myself, concentrate on so many different things that were fulfilling and building me as the person I became today. I'm so greatful that I don't have to depend on anyone, I feel stable and my relationship of 8 years is much healthier, I think thanks to my "alone" period. 38 38points reply View More Replies...

When we shame people for being wrong, we tend to stop new conversations from happening. In this way, we lose opportunities to understand where others are coming from and squander opportunities to change minds.

Don’t be one of those foolish girls who gets tricked and knocked up and has her life ruined!”

No parties. No dating. No makeup. I wasn’t even allowed to TALK about guys being cute without her side-eyeing me.

Then I go to college and halfway through freshman year she’s like “why don’t you have a bf? Get out there! Meet someone! Why aren’t you more social? And PUT SOME MAKEUP ON!”

She meant well but…it was very confusing.

To this day I’m shy around guys I like because of that woman.

Had a friend that tried to convince me that it was unhealthy for my wife and I not to get into fights. I tried to explain that when we disagreed with each other about something we talked it through and trusted each other enough to listen and be receptive to the other person. She just rolled her eyes and said that it would happen eventually because to her what we were doing was just bottling things up. I couldn't convince her that the reason she got into fights was that she and her husband bottled things up until they exploded and that's why she got into fights.

It's extremely heartbreaking how our own kind tear each other apart and never once stop to think about how their words and behavior will affect others. I know there are still people who know how to treat others with decency. Unfortunately, the majority overpowers any good going on. Constantly fighting for better seems futile at this point. There's just not enough wisdom, compassionate, understanding, and kindness in enough humans. It's only getting worse and I truly feel scared about what's to come. 7 7points reply Nikki Sevven Nikki Sevven Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago I agree with you, Stephanie. For those of us with empathy, it's heartbreaking seeing what's going on around the world. The lack of humanity is frightening. 4 4points reply Load More Replies...

You wouldn't believe how much you're constantly being shamed for just wanting to do normal stuff that everyone around you is doing. 14 14points reply Leo Domitrix Leo Domitrix Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago And how much shame you get for not being able to do it! .... Ten years past a spinal-pelvic injury, I still can't be "normal" or out of pain every day. I just want to .... Then I'm shamed when I say, "I can't, that's beyond my body's capacity". Ugh!

"What you need to do is yoga" "Have you tried walking more?" "You need to lose weight" and all that crap 2 2points reply Hermitbunny Hermitbunny Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 10 months ago I had someone tell me I should cut out sugar completely (the sweetest thing I ate on the regular were strawberries at the time, but he didn't ask) and eat nothing but potatoes for months and my depression would be cured.

I am sorry that it was said to you 1 1point reply Huddo's sister Huddo's sister Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Or for having to cancel things last minute because you aren't up to it. Plus, even my mum who has one of the same conditions, doesn't get it when I get quiet or upset because I've had to use so much energy during the day that I am just exhausted. 2 2points reply Ozacoter Ozacoter Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 10 months ago Definitely. Its always a battle. If you look too sick then everybody judges you for "not putting and effort". But if you look happy and good then everybody judges you for "not being truly sick". And dont get me started with walking aids. I just got a scooter because i cant walk long distances but that doesnt mean that I cant walk. I was today in a coffees terrace and went to the bathroom without it (how i am even going to fit the scooter there?). The guys sitting next to us were definitely judging. Because its soooo cool for me to have a extremely expensive scooter, have my family and friends pity me and random people judge me that I must be faking it right? 1 1point reply Stephanie Keith Stephanie Keith Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago The older I get the more I see, you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. People have forgotten how to play in the sand box with others. It's extremely heartbreaking how our own kind tear each other apart and never once stop to think about how their words and behavior will affect others. I know there are still people who know how to treat others with decency. Unfortunately, the majority overpowers any good going on. Constantly fighting for better seems futile at this point.
