What irritates me about others is what I see in myself.
What I hate about others, are things that I both don't do and can't find a reason for.



nicely put...
Look at Hitler.
He HATED with a dark passion how the jews were so GREEDY and wanted to charge interest,
he hated greed with a passion, because he suffered so. Of course, there's more to it. Of course, "used" them as a scapegoat for the German people. Perhaps. It's all opinion.
Then what happened? He planned and plotted to destroy the very thing he hated.
Not only did he destroy them by the MILLIONS, his soul was the most destroyed of all.
perfect to write about if you're planning dark poetry.
When someone is pointing out your faults, it's good to pay attention. They are really giving you an insight of themselves to a degree.
I can agree with this. The people I clash with the most are the ones that remind me of the worst parts of myself.
~ and those that you WISH to be like, emulate....
you FLOCK to. Hope to be.
This saying drives me insane. TBH.
which saying?
Because at the end of the day....
like attracts like. Always.

Much of what I teach in relationship workshops is based on the fact that ???like attracts like.?? But no one wants to hear that. After all, ???How could wonderful me attract such a jerk??? If you see your spouse as the only source of your ills, you miss the opportunity to change the only person you can change, which means you bring the same old you into the next relationship.
We can carry the premise of ???like attracts like?? into any relationship. There was a time in my career when I appeared to be a magnet for very aggressive, vengeful coworkers. They not only spread untruths; they tried to usher me into the unemployment line. The harder they pushed, the more victimized I felt, often saying, ???Why me??? I considered purchasing voodoo dolls to get rid of my tormentors. After much soul-searching I concluded there was probably something about me that provoked these repeat performances. I needed to forgive my coworkers and rise above the commotion. Now, I no longer have vengeful people stomping through my life.
If you think a good man is hard to find or that all the good ones are taken, you are going to manifest what you think about. People who fear living alone, most often end up alone. If you are jealous and fearful, you will attract situations to be jealous and fearful about. If you believe that women are only after your money, they will be.

the thing is, sometimes it's true. sometimes, it's not. i've talked to myself about this and i've come to a conclusion that yes, this is true to some of my characteristics, not at all with the others. @_@

Only 50% true
There's a lot of things I dislike simply b/c I'm no where ALIKE nor do I wanna be alike that particular trait
Example: I hate abusive people. There's not an abusive bone in my body though, nor do I have some secret desire to be so
I can't stand those who don't have manners. I have great manners & am glad I do.
So that quote isn't fitting for every type of situation or personality trait. I think there are plenty of things people dislike (like murderers) that they dislike simply b/c it's WRONG, ANNOYING OR CAUSES DISFUNCTION/DRAMA
I see what you are saying Krys, I am referring to character traits and such...

Agree. That's why I'm saying this quote really drives me insane coz sometimes, I think, it's helpful in a way. I mean, it makes me less critical of others. So yeah, it's just half-true but then again it's very helpful. So it drives me insane quite a bit. @_@
