  • Personally speaking, I feel like I don’t judge someone else the way I judge myself because I don’t know the full extent of what they are going through but I have access to all of my thoughts, memories, and every action I did or didn’t take. This lowers the possibility of there being a hidden, valid reason for actions or thoughts that I judge myself for compared to others.

    This isn’t meant to say that MisterMcBolt is right about their self-judgement. Just wanted to point out another possible reason for judging others differently from yourself.



  • Does “Fine, thanks, and you?” sound negative to native English speakers? That was the standard phrase we were thought since primary school as the standard response to “How are you?”, so it’s surprising to hear that it’s not the standard response (maybe it’s a US vs UK thing, since I was taught British English at first). relevant video

    My answer in Turkish “Aynı” (the same) when asked by friends and family sounds similar to the Russian answer you mentioned. Also it’s more acceptable in informal settings to give an answer like “yuvarlanıp gidiyoruz” (literal translation: we’re rolling; actual translation: it’s going) or “sürünüyoruz” (“we’re crawling”, but a more relevant translation would be “struggling”).
