Based on my recent experiences i have come to believe that it is fair for people to think they are the centre of their lives, but it’s foolish of them to assume that they are the centre of everyone else’s life also. I find such folk, a bit, annoying.
I understand what you feel. Would you like to share in detail what exactly happened?
Certain relatives of mine. Always ready to educate me about anything I say. They cut half way through conversation and make it about themselves and then whine about how smart they are at solving or understanding that issue. They even forget that I haven’t even finished my sentence yet.
Then there are folk who think everyone is at some level, either below them or at par with them or above them and the behaviour changes accordingly, while pleasing the ones above, demeaning the ones below and full effort to make the ones at par go below them. Yaaaaaaaaaah…
Why does this affect you?
You know that every individual is unique and they have certain characteristics to them due to the experiences they might have had in their life.
Here’s an example,
My dad turns on lights or tap unnecessarily which irritates me.
Me n my mom have told him about this many times and he still repeats it, I say to myself.. what’s wrong if I just turned off the lights or the tap instead of asking him … So I just do that now and I don’t feel anything.
Because I don’t know if he forgets things or does it by mistake or intentionally.
This way of doing things came to me after having a similar experience with my brother.
Found something thats related to this.

Wow. Thank you for sharing this video Sir Suechi. The transcript about anger is unique. I may have been able to practice the technique some time but i think i might also have been forgetting to do it sometimes. I am beginning to realise that at this moment I need to find a method to remember certain things at all times. But how. I feel me forgetful.
When you forgetful, ask yourself whats happening to you at the moment you go through any emotion. When ever you feel some negative or uneasy feeling.. pause and ask yourself why u.
If it doesn’t work.. I’ll just have to come and be with you for few weeks to remind you 🙂
Now thats a brilliant idea, isn’t it. Would be happy to host you sometime. But I’m pretty sure I’ll make Bangalore trip before that happens, hahah 🤣
Yes, I’m sure thats how it would end up and I hate that I can’t keep up my words to meet you everytime I say it…
Maybe I should not say and just visit you 🙂 should try that.
Hahah perfect. It would be a pleasant surprise i think.
