#821: Judgement Keeps You Lonely

Listen to this episode from Freedom from Attachment on Spotify. Are you constantly beating yourself up for past decisions? Judging every choice you've made and wondering why you feel so isolated? Here's the truth: We judge because it was meant to keep us alive. But now we use it to tear ourselves apart. And that harsh inner critic? It's keeping you lonely as hell. When you're constantly judging yourself, you don't want anyone close because you're terrified they'll judge you too. You hide parts of yourself, thinking you're protecting yourself, but you're actually cutting yourself off from real connection. In this episode, Tracy explores: * Why judgment was meant for survival, not self-torture * How harsh self-judgment creates emotional isolation * Why everything is actually neutral until you assign meaning to it * The difference between having an experience and judging an experience * How to catch your judgment patterns before they spiral * Why your past "mistakes" aren't mistakes at all "Everything is neutral. It's what we assign to it, what we judge it to be. That's bad. That's good. Don't do that. That's good. Do that instead of, okay, this is what's happening." ~ Tracy Crossley
