We’re all humans and we react in different ways so the least we can do is let go of what was said and accept who we are for what we are. To solve the judging problem, community discussions are needed but the first step and the most difficult one is acceptance — it’s accepting the fact that there is a fear. Only if you accept the fear, can you conquer this fear.

I also find that with this knowledge, I’m more cognizant of my comfort zone and can more easily recognize when I should step outside of it.
