The corollary to that, of course, is - don't be upset when people judge you for your choices silently or vocally or stop interacting with you.

They're just as free to pass judgment as you are to make choices that would alienate you from the others.

I don't think it reflects poorly on either party, but is just an inalienable component of human nature. It's a balance of personal choice/freedom vs societal acceptance. People fall on different parts of the spectrum and it's ok.
