I'm Surrounded By Hypocrites
Jan. 21st, 2013 10:10 pmI see hypocrisy everywhere and it drives me insane. It's even worse when I see people calling out hypocrites for being hypocritical when they, themselves, are hypocritical of the EXACT same things. I see this and want to say something - not out of spite but more like a mother guiding a child through a lesson. Unfortunately, I know it wouldn't go over well and would only result with them fuming at me. People tell me I'm wise and support everything I say to others until suddenly they're the ones I'm talking to and then they want to hear nothing of it. Hypocrites. Hypocrites everywhere.
When someone is giving you advise or criticism - listen to them. Even if everything they are saying seems wrong, at least listen. It can help you grow as a person. Perhaps they are wrong but their comments may make you aware of something you ARE guilty of or DO need to work on or maybe something you are doing great at and should CONTINUE to do.
The greatest advice I can give you in these situations is 2 words:
Just listen.
