    I agree with this. I think whether we know it or not that we have or had the qualities that others show that ‘irk’ us.

    We should be accepting of others and less judgmental. We never know for sure or at all what is going on with that person.

      Ditto on your thoughts. I agree.

    Dr Jung shows me how to reflect on my own issues at all times, especially if I have an opinion as to someone else’s life.

      That’s lovely Brian. I am pleased you have found someone who helps you reflect on your own issues. That is so important.

      It’s not something we can always do on our own.
