Being judgmental drives people away. It does not encourage connection. Do you want to drive prospective clients away? I am a computer tech. People often "disgust" me with their ignorance of technology and their lack of willingness to learn, but I try to be patient and understand that they are doing the best they can with what they have. On this basis I try to help them. When I was really fat people who acted disgusted by me were avoided. I considered them to be stuck up. I think it is funny that I have turned the tables on these guys who now cannot meet my standards...lol. We all have issues...we can also get along if we try. Unconditional acceptance is what I aim for, but I still fall short.
