others differently solely because of their mental health, singling them out as different, strange or someone to avoid. Now that alone is a horrible thing to do, singling someone out and avoiding them, how do you think that makes them feel?? This leads on to the second type of judging behavior. The other type is where we turn that judgement on ourselves, leading to feelings of shame and low self-esteem, among other things. This usually happens because of people judging them so much that they honestly think that there is something wrong with them and end up judging themselves. Judging someone includes:
• Avoiding that person
• Making fun of them
• Seeing their behavior as attention seeking
• Holding other negative thoughts about them
• Using language that might hurt their feelings
Not a lot of people can stand up like me and talk without their anxiety taking control over them, this is because they are scared that they will get judged if they do.
Thomas A. Richards is a Ph.D. Psychologist and he said: Social anxiety is the fear of social situations and the interaction with other people that can automatically bring on feelings of self-consciousness, judgment, evaluation, and scrutiny. In other words, social anxiety is the fear of being judged and evaluated negatively by other people, leading to feelings of inadequacy, embarrassment, humiliation, and depression.
I know someone who had something horrible happen to her, possibly the worst thing to ever happen to a girl. She got raped and from that she then developed many mental illnesses, she suffered with depression, anxiety and she constantly had suicidal thoughts and would regularly self harm, this led her to serious drug abuse. One day when she was under the influence of alcohol and cannabis she broke down in tears and told me that worst thing was the way people look at her, she thought that it was her fault that she got raped and that she was a slag and a slut and this was surprising to me. It shocking that someone who has suffered so much still gets judged so harshly, its just unfair. people would call her a attention seeker and slut and it almost killed her, from people judging her so much she led to drugs and self harming, because of judgment and self judgement she almost
died.
I’m going to tell you a little story about the life of someone who is “different”. You get out of bed and think to yourself, I really don’t want to go to school, I’m just going to get laughed at all over again but you force yourself to go to school. Your walking to school and you see a large group of boys come up to you, “you got a fag” they say, you say “no sorry” and you would think that would be it, the boys then go “why you lying to me, you want a fight, why aint you got a fag for” the boys start to get loud and violent and you start to fell uneasy, your body feels stiff and tight and you don’t know what to do, your lungs are closing up and it feels like your in a small room and the walls are slowly closing in, the boys then walk off after a awhile of terrorizing you. You get into school and walk into the playground,

Some people lead to drugs because they think that drugs take away the stress and that drugs will help, when in fact Every type of drug, no matter how potent or addictive, has some type of effect on the person using it. These effects can range from mild to severe, and can include both physical and psychological symptoms. While each drug is different, one common effect of drug use is impaired judgment.
Impaired judgement is a medical condition that results in a person not being able to make good decisions because of an underlying medical problem, environmental factors, diet or drugs/alcohol, according to WebMD. It is often accompanied by impaired social skills, impulsive or inappropriate behaviour.
The foundation recovery network said that Every drug side effect has the potential to be dangerous, but impaired judgment can be especially risky to a person physically, psychologically and socially. It is essential to use drugs with extreme caution, knowing that they can impair a person’s judgment in multiple and sometimes unexpected ways.
