"And if you repeatedly commit blunders on accident" Once or twice is an accident. "Repeatedly" demonstrates an unwillingness to change.

  > Once or twice is an accident. "Repeatedly" demonstrates an unwillingness to change. This assumes that you make the same mistake multiple times. There are so many unwritten social rules (which actually hardly anybody can consciously "put into explicit rules") that there exists a giant "potential" for social blunders without making any mistake twice.

    Thank you. The difference between my differences and your differences are an intellectual construct. You can't make comparisons saying someone is doing identically the same problem you have with them unless you actually literally become them identically and can then make the comparison.

  "Repeatedly" is from your perspective and demonstrates your need to control things without actually working those things out through proper communication. Why do you want people to change? Why is that your designation as your identity? What gives you that right? I don't have answers for you in your life because I don't know you. But throwing out general advice to people without actually having the compassion to allow them to understand just demonstrates that you have insecurities too, and are just as unwilling to work through the really really fucking hard stuff because you can't take the time to understand the way the people you direct understand things.
