What do you think of people who say "don't judge me"?
They may as well say, "I'm an idiot and screwed up royally but you must ignore it and not point it out to me. I have news for everyone who says "don't judge me." People are judged every day of their life, on their appearance, actions and words. If you have sleeve tatts or a teardrop, guess what? That hiring manager thinks you're a moron and you stand zero chance of getting the job. If you don't want to be judged, you better hide out in your home and never go out in public. But then people would judge you and call you a weird hermit. So there.
