I've heard before that to figure out yourself, look at what you hate in other people. If you did not carry that habit or attitude yourself, it would not bother you. What are your thoughts on this idea? |

With me it thing with pasts and different charactes I've gotten accustomed with. Some people invoke different characterestics in me based on shared memories. I'm in process of facing them with care, not always succeeding. I've changed over past half a year so much that I feel my nowmost being present mainly with those I've spent profound time during that period. Also some folks from my past don't handdle well my assumed change for all they have are just random web frases, that some are misunderstood or held downright telltale and makefun. To rant a little, sometimes I have this feeling that telltales and makefuns are taken as truths and truths as either taletales or makefuns |

That's an idea that was believed very strongly in the Costa Rica center place I went to. I've consequently given it a lot of thought. |

It's funny though because I agree, my reflexive inclination is that this idea cannot possibly be true. Later, I reassessed that it simply couldn't be true in all cases. Now, I'm beginning to see that there is, indeed, a very interesting psychological phenomenon at work. Not only have I learned a lot from paying attention to what bothers me in others, I'm also learning not to take their words very personally. How often have you been criticized by someone that exemplified the behavior they were criticizing? I once read in the Four Agreements that everything someone does to you is really about them, even if they hold a gun to your head and shoot you, it's still ultimately about them. It explains why many times, when getting into an argument with someone, it appears as though they aren't even really criticizing you anymore, they're criticizing a fabrication or construction of you that they have built in their minds, and it's typically not very accurate to how you feel about yourself. But with closer inspection, you can realize how deeply that fabricated version of you most closely resembles pieces of their denied self. |

Not that I entirely disagree, but I think this is still an over-simplification. |

Attention seeking has been lot in my mind couple of times recent I've logged in here, don't get this wrong. I'm slowly starting to realise some views on how I've been held as attention seeker, what buggers me in attention seeking, how I've been misinterepting my feedback based on teenage uncertainties and how many if not most forms of attention seeking are misintenpereted as such in internet. Not to say that they are not seeking attention, but what's the bad thing about it and who hadn't done it. Either in their past or are still doing only in more snobbish or cultivated ways. |

I don't believe it's as cut and dry as is stated in the OP, but I think there is a lot of truth to it. While I don't think that seeing a fault in others necessarily means that you are guilty of the fault yourself (awareness of something as a fault often comes from basic knowledge of that something as a negative), it can be a huge - even if subconscious - factor. In the same breath, it might also just come as an adverse reaction to something that the person is trying to avoid being guilty of. For instance, someone might be completely against materialism yet, while having never been a specifically materialistic person, themselves, they understand how alluring a materialistic nature can be, and so a part of their trying not to succumb to such allure is lashing out at the people whom they believe have done just that. |

And that can be used to both good and bad. I like to present past people the characters they've given to me in deeper detail while trying to grasp to them across time (aka my present state of being) by letting myself be something they've dreamed of. It's somehow very simple and gives you great theaterlike experience. Downpoint has been the loneliness caused by deep sense of distance. It's also the motive of trying to smuggle present understanding, views and memories to them. For the love of theatrics in everydaylife it's fun. It also requires isolation, so I don't get stuck in other peoples schemes of trying to have past me everpresent, for it keeps memories of recent transformations only hazyly experienced. |

Oh man, I don't do this too often its a real head trip. But I recommend viewing life, the people around you and your environment literally as a mirror if you want change. I first viewed life and the world around me as a mirror about two years ago. I got idea because of my dreams. I started to notice that in all of my dreams, even lucid dreams, when ever I was in wilderness the human presence was never far. |

I'm afraid of making this post because I have 1111 likes right now and want to hold onto that awesome number for as long as possible. |

You're right, I can't stand cops but that doesn't make me a police officer. |

I've also noticed that the only people on this forum who have a problem with me are the blindly egotistical ones. I haven't had any problems with people I consider humble. This leads me to two conclusions. |

I've been so far on that road that I'm developing also alternative ways on viewing things. Couple of days ago I talked with close friend of mine about my fears. Only real fear that I found not to have overcomed at any phase of my life was fear of omnipotence and the loneliness that comes with it. She took that fear in her and reflected the world back by playing with that thought. I'm from a family of master glass and frame artisans from my fathers side, so I've been studying mirrors, windows and lampglass in my mind. As a meditation practice if you may. What I've concluded that mirrors are many and they give different aspect of reflection. Reflecting and transparent surfaces are quite a mindblow in both substancial and world reflecting sense. No wonder they have been held as magical in the past. French word Psyché happens to refer also to a mirror you can look yourself from different ancles. |

^I'm normally good at making connections, but I honestly can't see how that video can be a response to what you quoted in any way. |

There's another interesting point to be brought up, as mentioned by Juroara and labyrint. I almost wanted to make a new thread specifically about the issue but this one already exists so why bother. |

It probably will be considering I have no priors and I'm pushing an entrapment defense but it's a rather frightening situation and the process has been one of the most difficult I've ever had. |

I'm feeling for you and supporting your courage. Today I'm gonna try to listen how my paranoid side gives me restrictions, limits and make-belief of what i should not do and what's not allowed. I'm gonna live in that existential cage and meditate my posibilities to work within that not-so-small-space-as-it-use-to-be. If you in real life end up convicted, send my an adress and i'll hit you with mail. |

not even trying to hide it, now |
