Not entirely related, but there is also this relationship between a person's insecurity and judgement. The lower their self esteem, the more prejudiced and judgemental they are of others. Admittedly also first hand experience.
...which is a nice little segue into this:
CIJS... I didn't appreciate you.
I've called you crazy. I've looked down on you. I judged you. I felt better than you. I hated you for a while, too. And while obviously, just like any other human, you have your flaws, you're actually a fantastic friend. You've always been there for me when I needed it. You always listened. You always supported me in everything. You never once complained even when I would be venting about the same asshole for an hour. You made me laugh when I was sad about it. You hate people who hurt me more than I do. You never ignore me, you're always down to meet and talk. I was too caught up in all of the things happening in my head to see that, but now I do. So, CIJS, I really appreciate you being my friend.
