Behaviours you abhor.... but which you are guilty of yourself

DareGod

There is a particular, terrible, and offensive word. I despise it. I hate when people use it. And yet, I use it myself, albeit with only my closest friend, and in my head.

I can't understand how and why I can detest a word so much and yet still use it myself.

Is there any behaviour or language which you despise / detest, yet which you are guilty of yourself?

I hate people being passive-aggressive to me (or anyone), but I have an awful tendency to be passive-aggressive myself at times. I hate that about myself.

I'm working on it.

Moaning.

When I hear myself moan I cringe - its definitely something I need to work on to eradicate.

Cynicism and sarcasm.

I'm better at keeping sarcasm away, only indulge once in a while, but I do get cynical in spite of my efforts to avoid it.


edit : disclaimer : prior to shark week anything goes, unbridled and with glee. There's a dispensation for that.

Not having the courage of my convictions . Am great at listening and advising others on how to do x,y,z .
Applying the same advice to myself and carrying it out is another story .

Nail biting. If somebody in my company did it I'd probably be disgusted yet I'm always at it

That's usually when my passive-aggressive streak shows itself. I don't even notice until it's too late and I've let myself down.

This made me think of another one ..

Beating ourselves up over something we've said or behaviour that we would more than likely accept from someone else .

I'm a complete Hypocrite

My child is at a big dance music festival today

And I gave it the whole pipe and slippers routine before she left

Little does she know

I was going to thank the posts I agree with but I think I'd get a blister on my thumb.

I'll probably stop reading this thread now because I am slowly realising what a horrible annoying human I must be

Procrastinating.

Hate when people put stuff on the long finger when it affects me. But I am guilty of doing it at times too.

You're not a horrible person , you're just human like the rest of us , with our own quibbles and traits .

Well thank you for that. I was actually being a little tongue in cheek but it's much appreciated all the same. I probably should have used a smiley in hindsight

I think the worst is when someone is drunk but youre sober and having to listen to them!! But then when you've had a few drinks , you start yapping on! Obviously then youre making total sense
