What’s the difference between calling someone out for undesirable behavior and judging them for it?
In: Other
Judging tends to involve an assessment of them as a person, their worth, or their values. Calling out behavior is focused on the behavior itself.
Someone can act like a jerk without being a jerk, just as someone can do toxic behaviors occasionally without being a toxic person–often because learned behaviors, things people do without being conscious of it, and so on aren’t quite the same as willfully not trying to be better when they are aware of said unhealthy behaviors. Hence, why calling out behaviors specifically can be important.
If you’re calling someone out for bad behaviour, you’re saying that they’re behaving badly. The line towards judgement is crossed when you assume that makes them a bad person.
OP You posted the same question twice. Might want to go back to your profile and delete one of them.
