ocenić kogoś ujemnie


Explanation:
The easiest way to say it without jargon is that it means to judge or assess someone/their actions/their views/etc. negatively. Either by judging or assessing in your own thoughts, or by doing so out loud.

Whether you're judging or assessing silently or out loud, your actions will be reflective (even if you are unconscious about it) of your point of view.

You can also "make yourself wrong" - same definition, but about yourself.

There are many impacts from "making others wrong" or judging others harshly. Some you may notice, some perhaps not. We negatively impact the quality of that relationship (at least in the moment we are judging them, but likely the impact is more enduring than that). We are rarely good at fully hiding this point of view, and so another impact is that others have the experience of being judged harshly.
