The struggle to let go of judging people

I've just watched Margaret McElroy's video blog on criticism: www.margaretmcelroy.com.
This is an area I have struggled with all my life. I find myself constantly judging people's appearances, actions and choices. It causes me a lot of emotional pain. 'Why can't I stop doing it?'

I've said before that the answer to judging is to think, 'I wouldn't have chosen that top'..or 'I would give way to that car...' Believe me, I have a long long way to go, but if awareness is half the battle, I am making progress. Is anyone else struggling with this issue?
