@HootyTheNightOwl This is an excellent point, as some on this post certainly agree with you. Im learning...slowly at times obviously... That my impulsive nature needs work.
Great answer.
Great answer.
@Trippin In my younger days, I used to be just as quick as to write people off.
It's only recently that I've learned to sit back and watch people more - and see the evolution in both them and me through the duration of my time associating with them.
Now, I'm more inclined to want to understand why this person is the way that they are than simply accepting it. Sometimes, observation can show you ways in which you can help them to move forward from where they are - and that can be a good feeling.

@HootyTheNightOwl Wow... I had to read a few times... Good stuff.
As much as I dislike an admission, I oftentimes have this me me me mentality. Truth. Working to change that.
Thank you... For helping me. 🤷♀️

@Trippin You should eventually reach a point where you stop looking inwards and start to look out at the world. It takes time and work... but you get there eventually.
I'm still a work in progress myself. It's not easy for me to accept when I've helped someone all I can and it's time for me to let go and make way for the next person on their life's path. I can feel a bit bitter and resentful because it had to end at times - so I'm working on accepting that they are doing the best for them... whether I agree with it or not, it's still the best for them.

@HootyTheNightOwl That is where I wish to be. A paradox to me at times... I can rationalize... see a situation for what it is. Know in my heart how my reaction should be..because I feel it. But then like a learned behavior or defence mechanism...both... I quickly make a 180 and my actions simply become something I regret. 🤷♀️
Enjoy very much your expressions of humility.
