When is the line crossed for having an opinion on someone and judging them?
This is something that I've struggled with for a while. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

How do I stop people pleasing and being prideful/arrogant?
So when I was a non believer in secondary school (high school) and through sixth form (college) I had really low self esteem, as I was really self conscious and always concerned about what people would think about me, so I'd try and make as many friends as I could with the "popular" kids in school, but I'd create fake personalities around each person/group to try and fit in so that they'd like me and so that I'd feel as if I had some self worth. And tbh to this day I still people please a bit and do things and say things I don't want to to do and say just so I don't lose my friends even though they're pretty secular and I know I shouldn't be hanging out with them, but I've been friends/known most of them for close to half my life. Another thing that I've been doing recently as a coping mechanism or to reverse the years of feeling like I have a lack of self worth is hyper inflating my own ego to the point where I just constantly look down on people and judge them and think that I'm better than them, even though I'm not. And I really don't want to have these feelings and I know in the Bible it mentions countless times how being prideful and arrogant is wrong, but I just have so many intrusive judgmental and prideful thoughts and I do try and rebuke them, but I just have so many that it gets overwhelming. Any advice would be very appreciated.

During Prayer Today
Hey guys! I wanted to share something with you. I was just waiting on God and allowing Him to speak with me and I heard very loud thoughts. 2 in particular that I going to share. First, I heard a voice that said to me today, "God's voice isn't changing you." Now that was an immediate shock. Whether it was my own thoughts, or the enemy I thought about this for a moment objectively and didn't OWN the thought initially. Because I've learned over the years that when when you hear something negative about yourself and choose to agree with it, it'll manifest and bind you up. So I immediately said, "No, I reject that thought." Because the truth is that God's word is alive and active and I know by now which voice sounds like my own soul, God's, and the enemy. I know which words bring life and which does not. The next voice I heard today said this, "What do you see me doing?" I recognized this voice right away and it sounded like God and I was reminded of Jesus saying this in John 5:19-20 "19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed." So I was encouraged by God's invitation to just LOOK with my eyes closed. And I saw something I cannot share here. But just know that when you wait upon the Lord, God will give you strength. When you wait upon God, He will light up your world and show you how powerful and He is. The perfect compass for your life is inside of you. But are you actively checking that compass daily? Lastly, always sift through and be aware of the voices that may appear when you quiet yourself and wait upon God. Some thoughts that appear will help you, and some thoughts are by the enemy. But the spirit has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

Reading of the day
«But Gideon said to Him, “Please Lord, how am I to rescue Israel?

In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?"*
