5 years ago I thought I was an imbecile, but now I know it for a fact that I am :)
No for real though. It's a cliche but 5-10 years ago I actually thought I knew everything, now I know just how much I don't know
- nancyminusone 2y agoI've always thought it was pretty arrogant to think you know everything. These days, I know less than ever!
- bluefirebrand 2y agoYes I absolutely used to be very arrogant I still can be but at some point I recognized that my personality and behavior was driving people away from me and also it made me miserable to be that way. I made a conscious effort to change Actually, this is somewhat also related to the idea I posted elsewhere in this thread, about being inputs into our own system. When I wanted to stop being so miserable to be around, I set a goal for myself: "I am going to try to make at least one person smile every day" I don't think I managed to every day, but it made me take note when I did make people smile. It felt good, partly because I made someone else happy, partly because I was accomplishing the goal I set for myself I think it was a very key component of becoming a happier person myself
