People judge other people about lots of things all the time. It's human nature. People judge you for the way you speak, the clothes you wear, your posture, your actions, how you treat others, etc. You judge other people too, as we all do. People mostly learn that their snap judgements are not necessarily accurate and make adjustments or learn to consciously hold off judging others until they have enough information to make a more considered judgement. This is a social skill. What's most important is how you judge yourself. For example, if you judge yourself as incompetent because of how you speak (this was one of my negative self-judgements) you will see yourself as a victim, but if you reframe that and see yourself as someone with a certain set of challenges which lead to empathy for other people's health conditions, that shines a different light on things. And other people notice that empathy too, and will judge you on that - only positively.
