Another way to view this: the things that bother you about other people are probably things you hate about yourself.
Like how I roll my eyes and grumble at a coworker for being a perfectionist and trying to find the root of an issue even if it’s time-consuming...because I am that same person.
The awareness is the first step toward being less of a jerk to other people, but I haven’t figured out how to turn that on myself yet.
Hey Ashley, that's a good way to view it. We can't simply turn off that jerk switch both toward ourselves and other people. Interestingly, I'm the complete opposite to you when I see others being a perfectionist. I have a deep admiration for this (even when the perfectionism is slowing things down). And as would be expected, it's a quality in me that I have deep fondness for.
