What are some of yours (or someone you know) that you don't mind sharing. I find that I tend to be overly critical of others...sometimes of people I don't even know.

I think a big one for me is inconsistency in my attitude. Sometimes I'm in a great mood and I'm lots of fun and positive... then I can become jaded and cynical. People have a hard time adjusting to those extremes. I wish I could be more upbeat and positive all the time, but I was raised by overly critical parents and there is so much to overcome! At least I realize it.
Sometimes I try to resist criticizing others -- even in my head. I try to pick out something beautiful or positive about them to combat the negative. It's a battle, though.
It takes about 14 positive thoughts to overcome 1 negative thought. That's what we're up against! Don't give up!! It's great that you realize this about yourself and you're sharing it.

...being a perfectionist,...being too nice,...being too honest (mostly to a fault)...I like to ride the fence post on certain issues sometimes...that way I can never be wrong. I have an opinion about everything...but I'm an expert at nothing. I have extremely good looks and an ego problem that occasionally gets the better of me. It's a curse being a very attractive man. I have an addiction to nicotine. I seek out women that are generally out of my league. Hey what the heck though. Nobody ever shamed anyone for trying. There's more...but thistle do for now. Yikes!!!

I tend to over simplify problems of people who complain a lot or are over dramatic. And I'm a perfectionist. Also I am very sensitive to insults, even if I don't show it.

I tend to be too nice and willing to help people. Although, my New Year's resolutions is to not let anyone take advantage of me and not to be too nice. So far, things are working out very well.

You see, you are so critical of others you want to focus on their flaws, focus on their assets instead, and on your too.
