"I'm not being judgemental, but.. '

For me, it's the same as 'I'm not racist but....'

That they know they are being judgmental and think that by saying that it makes what they are saying sound better.

"I know I'm actually being horribly judgmental but I'm going to say this anyway..."

I would immediately think they were going to be judgmental.. it’s the same sort of crap line you hear form the same people who spout ;’I’m not homophobic/racist < insert prejudice here> etc my best friend is a lesbian, transgender, one legged and black…’

However I am aware I am being incredibly judgmental….lol

When i saw the thread title I thought my mum had found Hitched ?

I would think they were about to voice a potentially unpopular opinion - but that they wanted the opinion to be judged on its merits rather than a rush to condemn

everyone judges by some standard if they have an opinion or stance on anything - and yet the label of being judgemental is so damning

I'm neither racist nor judgemental, bu them French is shifty.

Funny you should mention that, as it's something my mum said to me yesterday. Am currently unemployed, thinking about some sort of further training and went up to London with a friend on Tuesday. Had a conversation with her yesterday, where she said: "I'm not being judgemental, but you need to decide whether that money (for train ticket) would be better spent on training. You need to decide which sacrifices you need to make.

Thanks for the reassurance that I'm not being oversensitive. She was being a tadge judgemental. ?
