Why do people tend to gain a shared dislike for people who tell them what they don’t want to admit to themselves? Is it because they finally burst that little bubble of obliviousness that they’ve been surrounding themselves with? Maybe all they actually intend to do is open other people’s eyes so they realise what other people actually perceive them as. It’s never meant as an insult.
People these days seem to be very defensive as soon as anyone throws a criticism in their direction. But maybe if we all opened up a little and accepted and understood criticism and took it as a lesson to be learnt then we wouldn’t have the need for someone to keep pointing it out to us.
So when people ‘have a go at you’ maybe you should let the thought pass through your mind that they’re actually trying to help. If they taking the effort to point it out to you then they obviously care; if they care then maybe they’re worth caring about too.
So people who actually point out your flaws aren’t always just trying to get you down. They’re obviously pointing them out for a reason, so you can change them and make yourself a better person.
There’s room for improvement in us all. Those who can point it out to us are worthy of keeping close.
Next time someone tells you where you’re going wrong. Listen. They might just have a point.
Peace.
