Judging Erica
One of my biggest flaws is that I am arrogant though it does not seem so obvious to so many people. I don't mean arrogance in a "you need to treat me well" way but more of arrogance by being impatient with people "I don't like."
There are only a very select and special people that catch my irk. But those who do are in for a big surprise because I can be a bit bitchy. Lately, because of some therapy (yes, I go to one, I am happy that I do) I realized that the reason I can be impatient or even angry with some people is because they represent parts of me that I hate! So obviously, my reaction is very negative about them because I don't accept this part of me as well.
For example, I always abhorred arrogant people -- those they know so much and think too much of themselves. Then after chatting with my therapist, I realized that I was as arrogant and the reason I did not like this behavior was because I recognize it in mine but have been denying that it has been there! Ain't that a revelation?
So, from now on, I really will TRY my best to refrain from judging people. After all, I may well have been judging myself. I would rather concentrate on getting to know myself really well in order to make my existence more meaningful for me and for others. :)
