Why people judge?

One of my friends recently gave me a negative feedback on my appearance. Usually, I wouldn't have cared because of the obvious male fan following, but this time, it hurt. He almost told me that I am "not good enough to have a second look". OMG. At first, it just hurt, but later while my pain subsided with positive thoughts infused in my head forcefully, I realised, why did he need to judge me? After all, I am just his friend. Judging can be so disturbing. It creates its own vicious circle. So first he judged me, then I judged him thinking "he is manner-less" and then, my another good friend judged me for "judging him" and concluded that I wasn't any different than him. The point is, if judging is so painful and uncomforting - WHY JUDGE?

Relationship mishap and Shopping Bliss

Have you ever experienced a heart breaking and confusing relationship mishap? Well, to cut the long story short, I did so recently. Although I hardly realised how pleasurable it would be when it all happened. Minutes after i saw the dreadful email that tore my fantasies (all inclusive) apart, my friend decided to take me on a shopping spree. Little did I know that shopping could be that good a stress buster. I did spend a few grand but was over him (or so I thought) in a few hours of it all. Look out for "things you never notice" and see how good you look in them. I still can't belive I bought a pink sleeveless shirt in half price from Allen Solly. Moral of the story: the day you break up shopping is highly recommended.

P.S. Break-ups are like Sex. It hurts at first, but later on you realise how relieving it can be.
