Don't judge me!

Have you ever thought about the phrase, "Don't judge me!" My friend, HRH, and I have. We recognize that it is only used when someone feels they will be judged in the wrong. Like, "I ate a whole cake in one sitting...don't judge me!" To judge is to make a call for good or ill. This phrase is only used though in the negative. Other than showing a lack of confidence, it also shows a narrow understanding of the term. We've decided that if we want to be fair, and that is that we should not pass judgment on each other at all, then we need to do so in both directions. So when a positive comment is made, we've decided to say, "Don't judge me!" Let's try it out..."You look really nice today, I like that blouse."
Correct Response: "Don't judge me."
