Well, I try not to judge people.

Maybe we're using "judge" in two different sense, but I judge people all the time, unapologetically. If you don't judge people, you're likely to get screwed. I even judge people on first impressions, because they're usually correct. I'm willing to give people a second chance to give a different impression (maybe they were having a bad day), but, in general, my initial intuition about someone is right about 80 percent of the time.

For instance, by her actions, I judged that Lauren is flaky, doesn't care about promptness or other people's time too much, and is emotinally needy and nervous if people don't respond as enthusiastically as she'd like. I further make the judgement that I won't likely attend any poetry events where she's heavily involved because she'd drive me up the wall.
