    I clearly remember my 3rd grade teacher telling us, "Often we don't like certain people because they have the same traits we don't like in ourselves". My little 9-year-old brain lit up and thought, "Whoa".

      I remember knowing this in high school (not sure if I figured it out beforehand) and realizing that this was part of why I hated one of my teachers. She ended up being my favourite teacher by the end of high school (took 5 classes from her I think). Glad I had that introspection at that age.

    Another way to look at this same behavior from the other side is projection. As humans, we tend to assign other people the traits we don't want to see within ourselves, and if we can understand that we're doing this, it becomes a way to identify some shadows that need a little light.

    This is one of the biggest reasons why, several years ago, I toned down my stance in a lot of social debates and sides that I don't have sufficient knowledge of to decide what is right/wrong/acceptable/deplorable/etc.
    I got tired of complaining about a lot of things seemingly wrong just with people and life and I spent more time in self-reflection. It makes the air feel cleaner to breathe in.

      This a thousand times!! Funnily enough the best example I've found of this was in college with roommates who insisted on never sharing anything. My family's cultural backgrounds on both sides are very generous with offering food/sharing cooking as a social thing, so I'm always doing it with people in the house I live in. The best roomate experiences I had were always with other foodie dudes who were usually down to cook together.
      However, I very quickly began to notice that certain girls (especially ones from wealthy families) who ever lived with us that always had that polite demeanor of "Oh no no I couldn't possibly thank you though" were always the first to freakout and cause drama if they caught a roommate using their Trader Joe's ketchup and demanding them a reimbursement of 50 cents 😂 I literally don't trust people who refuse to accept any sort of generosity anymore, it's way too telling lol
