Is criticizing others dress strictly a matter of ignoring one's self?

Question

How conflictual is this statement with 'practice what you preach'?

Answer 1

Alot of folks criticize others, to make themselves look good! When in reality it makes them look WORSE! We must work on ourselves, before trying to fix others!

Answer 2

Criticism of any kind, specially that of a person's physical appearance, whether it be their body or their attire, is an indirect way of validating yourself as someone who is superior to the person criticized. Criticism, not critique, is very Narcissistic in that it puts your opinion, taste and philosophy before others'. We live in a society that is quickly becoming Narcissisticly geared. It is all about I, me and mine. We manifest it in almost every walk of life and in every possible scenario. I agree with your opinion that criticizing and practicing what you preach are very conflictual. We often criticize something as being totally tasteless, tacky, or unsightly but have been guilty of looking that way ourselves!

Answer 3

I don't judge people its not my place. Everybody being different is a good thing. If EVERYBODY dressed the same or acted the same way the world would be boring. People who choose to break the mold are the ones you should be making friends with. They are strong people.

I refuse to be a cookie cutter image. I dress how I feel. If you stop worrying about what others think and hold your head high you'll go places.

Answer 4

Yes.
There is a guy here where I live, he rides around on a 3-wheel bicycle and wears this hat/hood like an old WW 1 fighter pilot. Many people will joke about him. I just see that he have his own personality and not have to follow a trend. Shows intelligence to me, he thinks for himself and what he likes, not what others want him to think and like.

Answer 5

It's a sign of insecurity.
