Do you have the super ability to see others faults?

Post Reply New Topic

I've always atributed such an ability to be watching others to see what they do right, because you know you are going to make a mistake.

ie the kid in marching band who always notices when someone else in step is watching that person closely because they know they dom't march correctly themselvs and are always looking at the other person to see how they should be doing it. (hope thats clear)

Growing up I went by the philosophy there was no point in saying something if you already knew it. You should already know your hair has turned blonde, so why should I point it out? However, you might not koow that there is a tiny pimple by your ear that needs popped so I should tell you.

I'd like to think i wasn't that extreme but I can remember a friend showing me some sort of castle she made and asking how I liked it. The only thing I told her was that the tower was crooked - it was. I just figured she already knew what was great about it so there was no point in my commenting on the great amazing aspects of her ability.

She responded by telling me I was mean, and I couldn't figure out why. After all, the tower was crooked, as I kept on trying to let her know so she didn't actually think I was mean. It was probably 4 or 5 years later before I figured out why she thought I was being mean for telling her about the tower.

My mother always says that I talk about others faults often and that I am very critical of her. I don't think I am, maybe she is just over sensitive
I know that I do talk about others faults, but not as often as she says that I do.

I do very much the same thing. I can't help but pick apart everything. It's how I learn about things. Most people don't understand this, and can become quite irritated with me for over-analyzing everything. I do this with things that I do, and things other people do. I see things in a very black and white way, and I've only recently realized that I'm that way. If someone does something that I would never think to do I can't help but to pick it apart to try to figure out why they would do that certain thing. I'm trying very hard to look at others actions more objectively, as I can be really judgemental.
