LPT: Sometimes the way we see other people is also a mirror.
One thing that helped me understand myself better is noticing the things I criticize in other people a little too quickly.
Sometimes when someone calls another person lazy, dramatic, attention-seeking, arrogant, fake, or too sensitive, it says more about what they are uncomfortable with in themselves than about the other person.
Not always, of course. Some people are genuinely rude or harmful.
But if you find yourself getting unusually irritated by the same type of person again and again, it might be worth asking:
why does this bother me so much?
Do I secretly fear being like that?
Was I taught that this behavior was unacceptable?
Am I jealous that they allow themselves to do something I don’t?
This doesn’t mean all judgment is wrong. It just means your strongest reactions can be useful information.
