I Want To Write My Random Thoughts And Feelings

'I'm just being me' is all well and good.
And a person should be themselves unapologetically. Kudos.
Except when that is hindering self accountability and responsibility for what 'being themselves' affects in their surroundings, people and otherwise.
That is something to be apologetic about, when its negative. And something to work on to improve on 'being me'.

Personal accountability is seen as a negative, these days. "Being me" has all the hallmarks of this trend, it is just a very convenient excuse to not change.

@SW-User Agree. This applies to me as much as anyone else. It's so easy to fall into the hype of 'being me' that we can forget its not always a good thing.

@SW-User I honestly can't understand why anyone is so resistant to listen to reasonable criticism of their actions.

In fact, the most successful people I've ever met had one odd trait in common. They hated themselves, at some low point of their life, and that was part of the driving force behind wanting to and succeeding at becoming better people.

@SW-User The most successful people, the CEOs and such, tend to be narcissists. Narcissists cannot handle criticism.

And everyone to an extent has an ego that cannot handle being criticised. Its up to us to work on that.
