Why do people always point to others’ mistakes instead of rectifying their own mistakes?
One day a monk told his two disciples.Face each other. Observe and note down all you observed. I will look at your analysis in evening.Disciples followed the words and did same.In evening monk checked and found both mentioned flaws of each other. ( phase-1)Now next day he gave them same task but with a condition- look in the other’s eyes and note down observations.Again in evening, monk checked their observations and found they mentioned their flaws rather than each other. ( phase-2)Because when disciples looking in each others eyes, their eyes worked as a mirror to show their reflections.We observe what we see. When you see other person, it will allow you to see his mistakes.While when you see from his eyes, you will know what flaws you have. Because his eyes will be a mirror to show your reflection.But when you looking at him except his eyes, you will find flaws only in him and unable to see yours.So we are like phase -1 disciples.
Why do people point out my flaws?
They do so, because they notice something in your behavior that they think is not inline with how it should be. What I find noticeable is the way you formulate this question. It seems that you agree with the fact that what those people point out indeed are your flaws.Given this, people do so because they want to make you conscious of them. The reasons for them to do so, can vary. Roughly those can be devised in two groups: Positive and Negative. With good intentions and with bad intentions. It kind of depends HOW they do so whether you will be able notice what group they fall into.But you can be mistaking, someone can mean well but just be verbally clumsy etc. etc. So best way to go about something like this is to just hear the words they say, and translate them in to neutral language. Just getting the message, so you can do with it whatever you want.That way you can ignore any bad criticism, just get the message, and evaluate whether the person has a point, in spite of his or her mall intent. When the person has a point, you can do something with it.
Is it rude to correct people when they write your name wrong?
I feel your pain. My name is Meaghan, which is often misspelled. Usually, when someone spells my name wrong in an email or text, I add it to the end of my reply and hope that they catch onto the correct way to spell it. If it's a friend, you might even make a joke out of it when you see them, but that tone is hard to get with a text and could come off as rude.
How should I respond if someone points out a mistake I've made?
Everyone but your spouse: "Thank you. I will work on it."Your spouse: "This again?"Just kidding. It's a little harder to take advice from someone you spend every day with, but I tend to be more accepting of the advice of strangers. I trust my spouse totally, but when you spend your life with someone, it is better to choose your words carefully as they will become your vocabulary over time. As you spend more time with each other, you shorten sentences and give knowing glances that only the two of you can decipher. But correcting one another seems to be grounds for a world war because it can come across as being judgmental and unproductive.
Why do people always point out flaws in others rather than their good qualities?
It's all dependent entirely on the way they think! A pessimist will Never have a good opinion about things or people as the whole. Actually, a Human has got two sides, namely the “Good” and the “Bad”. Good is a side he/she has shown to the Ones who have been Good To Him/her. Bad is obviously something he/she prefers to show to the ones who hasn't been good to Him/her. (I am gonna use “Her” in the entire opinionated article).I have seen people who know to control on what they speak about someone. I mean they can straight away Speak Good and stop the conversation. And there are others who analyze and speak both the Good side and the Bad side of a person. Only a optimist can say both Good and Bad opinions about a person because a positive or Optimistic person has seen and learnt from the life she has gone through and knows to observe things and people and what all behavioured people exist in this world.The ones as you have described, the ones who can only point out Negative or flaws of another person isn't a broad-minded person and unfortunately hasn't got a chance to widen her thinking and analysing process. Unfortunately is someone who is someone who doesn't have a Selfless Aim in life!If there's something which is bothering you, I mean like someone's attitude of being narrow-minded is not allowing you live your life peacefully, My Advice to you is - Everything, if at all something is there, you are going through is just and just a test and challenge by God and whatsoever people Good or Bad are around you…they’re just gonna let You get Moulded into the Original You - The Actual Creation of God ! I mean all these people which are around us are just elements which help us Grow into an Individual with “Our Own Uniqueness” !Also one important thing! It's tough for us to Change Others. Some people especially people younger to us, and the one's who respect us might change with our advice…. But not all! Advice regarding nothing else .. but changing their perspective about life. Being Broad-minded and Optimistic!
Why would an Omnipotent God be so petty that he would demand worship?
Indeed ... WHY would a supreme being, perfect and fulfilled in every way and therefore without needs or desires, create something less than himself, unless he was a psychopath? A true 'god' worth bowing to would NOT require it. If YOU were able to manufacture some sort of living being, would you require it to worship you, glorify you, incessantly utter your name, build buildings dedicated to you, ask you for all sortsa STUFF or give thanks to you ... day in, day out, ad nauseam, endlessly? Of course not; it's a ludicrous proposition ~
Why do people stare when I breastfeed my baby?
Hmmmmmm nobody has ever stared, mind you I live in Canada and in a large city, both of which mean people tend to be more liberal. A couple of times people have come over to chat only to realise that the baby isn't sleeping but is feeding. They usually say how nice it is to see a baby breastfeeding. If waitstaff avoid your table I would first try to get their attention if you need something, maybe they think you prefer to be left alone. If they will not come even when you signal as soon as you do get one ask to speak to management or if you are eating with someone have them approach the staff and ask to speak to management. Teenagers tend to be rude, can't help you there. Just make a nasty comment back. ;-) Or if you are really daring whip out your other boob and say "I can see you are jealous, want some milk?" Take care!
