Judgemental?!

Why are older people so judgemental? Were they not young once too?

This posts shows you can be as well. But do not paint all in the same light. Not all are. Sadly, a lot of them have had bead experiences in life and it has made them biter and the way you speak of.

I find people do be judgemental or not, regardless of their age.

Who said all older people are judgmental? That statement is judgmental. It depends on the person.
You go girl ! (Mumble), damn kids, (mumble), are always judging older people. lol

😂😂😂 Not all. lol @softspokenman:
😉 @GraceFromEP: 8)

Don`t paint us all old farts with the same brush. Please. Not all of us are judgmental.

@GraceFromEP: They need to look in the mirror before looking at others. ;)

@Degbeme: No doubt. If they don't like what they see, they can look the other way. If they're waiting for me to care, I've got forever.

@GraceFromEP: lol ... ;)

They've made some bad mistakes, and have a hard time dealing with watching youngsters repeat those same mistakes.

Then some are just as crabby as all get out, and mad at the world. I stay clear of those type negative people.

Not all of us.

It's unfair to put everyone in the same category. It really depends on the person. Not ALL or even MOST OLDER people are judgemental. Depends on their background, how they grew up, ...their personality.

Ouch! That sounds pretty judgmental. Not all older people are judgmental. I'm not. I accept people for who they are. If you find that some are, simply steer clear of them. You don't have to hang around them .

For the most part we hate to see the young ones making the same mistakes we have

I feel I am less judgmental as I grow older....

Haha! True!
romell · 51-55, M
sometimes concerns and advises seem judgemental for a older one having suffered something akin could just be in a advisory mood
Some older people become more cynical and judgmental as they get older. Their memories and experiences are vastly different than those of the younger generation. Sometimes, you have to remember that they grew up in much different circumstances. And with any kind of judgment, it is way more important what you think of yourself than what others think of you.

Well not all older people are so judgmental..

part of it is level of maturity
Redbeard · 56-60, M
A lot of us do not wish to come across judgmental. We just lack the skills needed to hopefully persuade the younger generation from making the same mistakes we made and suffered the consequences; hoping to spare the younger people from the pain and heartaches we went through at your age.

Because they remember the mistakes they made when they were young?
sophie2000 · 22-25, F
Make sense but we all have to do our own misstakes. Right?
Mugin16 · 46-50, M
@sophie2000: Yes, as long as you learn from it.
funfan · 51-55, M
@sophie2000: Both of you are correct. How was an older person judgmental towards you? Not another "Is Sweden better than Norway" thing huh? XD
thealsatian · 41-45, M
I think a lot of people genuinely do forget what it's like to be young. The mind is always keen to flatter our memories
MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M
Hi I am older and I like to think that I still remember what it's like to be young and am not judgemental.
StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M
It's one the lessons they learned from their elders.
Unlearn · 41-45, M
Because they know what many youngsters don't...

Judge not lest he be judged I always say 🙂
Gforce1163 · 61-69, M
Not all older people are judgemental 🙂
Newandimproved · 61-69, M
A bit of jealousy i suspect
ticklerguy · M
I never judge anyone

young people are surrounded by people trying to shape them. Those people are usually older...parents, grandparents, teachers, religious leaders. That appears judgemental, because it is.
rfhh1959 · 61-69, M
People are who they are and as they get older they usually be come more so. If they are judgement old they were when younger, in my opinion.
in some ways I am much more accepting than when I was a younger person

but when it comes to popular music - I'm as judgemental as my dad
Diesel95 · 36-40, MVIP
Well I'm 33 and honestly wish I could go back times change so I say older or not ya gotta change with it
smiler2012 · 61-69
sophie2000 perhaps not judgemental as such but perhaps a case of a wise old head
rfhh1959 · 61-69, M
I guarantee you they were judgmental when younger they are just worse now
QuietEd2019 · 31-35, M

I take pride in myself for not being at all judgemental.
Cuz their morals convert them to be "old fashioned"
MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M
I am old and I don't consider myself to be judgemental
SW-User
It’s often the other way as well
Goralski · 56-60, M
Who isn't
Yes. Most of us do remember. A lot of stuff was dumb when we did it, too. 😅
