Although few of us continue to frequent our former office environs, most, if not all of us still have a circle of vendors and customer with which we are in constant contact. It’s human nature, at least with those whom I have observed, including myself, for us to find fault with others.

We are all subject to numerous factors that influence the accuracy with which we make personality judgments of ourselves and others. Factors to consider are the relationship between normal personality and any personality disorders, connections between personality and language use, and the psychological assessment of social situations in which we find ourselves.

Introspection might just reveal a feeling of enjoyment and triumphant, maybe even a certain smugness at “dissing” someone. We see this happening in the workplaces, associations, family and nearly all places of human interaction.

Psychologists call this “projection”;i.e., transferring onto other people the things you don’t like about yourself. If you seek perfection in your life, you’re not likely to truly find it. In fact, the irony is that you will be obsessed with the opposite condition — imperfection.

As a result, you will begin to notice it everywhere, in every situation, in every person. You will hate it and you will hate yourself.

Think about it!
