How good are you at knowing when you're the problem? How often do you consider yourself to be genuinely wrong in a situation? Are you good at self policing or does someone have to point that out?

As an innately self reflective and self aware person, I’m can always find ways that I’m the problem, even when I’m not. It’s that trend toward hyper analysis that gets in my way more often than not. I can always know what I’ve done wrong, because it haunts me. I never need another person to tell me. I already know.
 
Mostly, I assume I'm always the problem. I'm a self deprecating little bitch like that. Even if the other person does wrong, I believe it's because I'm not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, etc. I'm quick to point out my own faults and turn them into reasons I'm not likable.

When I actually do fuck up, though? I feel it to my bones. I apologize from the heart and try to make amends. I don't try to sugar coat things or gaslight anyone. When I'm wrong, I'll own it.
I'll just pop in to say that I agree completely with your second paragraph in particular, and I am damn proud of you for it.

I could have (and was about to have...) written this.



I'm working on it.

I am never wrong. Guess that is why I am always the problem.

Some recently told me I was very self aware, I agree, I am. I think I would know but also we don't always know what's in the minds of others. (Also, it's always someone else, I'm never the problem. I'm amazing)

I want to hug you.

PLP, I think most people have a tendency to believe their point of view is the "right" one. The more emotion involved, the greater this is true. I want to believe, that if I am shown evidence that I'm wrong, and my argument is creating a problem... that I would concede the point.
Self-policing our views and beliefs has never been a forte of the human race. More often than not... "might has been the side that is right". Victors write history, etc. I'm going too far afield here, sorry.
Mediation is popular and often works, therefore, we must consider that someone "outside" our argument, can often help us "see" when we are contributing to the problem.
Love - Always,
EROS :heart:

I thought I was good at knowing when I was the problem...however, recent events have made me look back and really consider whether I was taking the blame for someone else because I Thought I Was the Problem. This has become even more of a question as the groups I left recently, because I thought I was the problem, have approached me of late and asked me to return, apologizing because they learned that certain people in the group were playing at being victims in order to manipulate the groups. The whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth, and caused a lot of self reflection.

Generally, I am open minded enough, that I catch when I am wrong quickly, or if it is a discussion of opinion based around interpreting facts, asking if I can have the chance to read their source, and provide them with my own. I have recognized where I got my facts wrong, took the correct facts under advisement, and adjusted my opinion accordingly. The thing I run into often however, is that often, I end up in discussions with people who did not fact check, or who chose dubious sources for their information, and when I present them with my creditable sources, they don't take it well, then their arguments turn derisive. They don't take it well when I just simply stop arguing at that point, most often simply walking away. It isn't worth my time.

It does get pointed out to me that I can come across as verbose and I have been accused of being a Mansplainer even though the other person is not knowledgeable at all about the subject. I have been told "I asked you what time it was, not how a watch was made" a time or two. I was WAY worse growing up as someone who loved watching PBS documentaries/science programs. On the flipside, I do acknowledge when someone else has more experience and or knowledge with regards to a subject than I do, and ask questions of them to increase my knowledge. Even when I was in a job position where I was considered "An Expert", it threw people in the department when I would direct them to someone else in the department when I knew that person had more knowledge on the subject or program in question than I did, and I would straight up tell them, "I would rather you get your answer from them, than mislead you thinking I knew the right answer."

If you could be a fly on the wall and watch anyone bawchickawowwow, who would you watch? This could be real people, Lit people, celebrities, dare I say, politicians...


While I realize this question could be potentially problematic, we will assume you have consent to watch but only in fly form.

I had to think long and hard on this one. I have decided I am not a fly.
