Send to a Friend
Do you notice flaws in other people less than flaws in yourself?
I know that personally I am way more critical of myself than I am of other people, but I think that’s true for most? For example, if I break out and have some zits, I think my entire face looks awful. But many times, after being with a friend for an entire day, I will notice that they too have quite a few zits but they don’t look awful and they don’t make their entire face look terrible.
I used to do the same thing with teeth. I had bad teeth, and I hated them, and I obsessed over them, but if I saw someone else with a gap in their teeth I would think “Why doesn’t their gap make their whole face look bad, like mine does?”
This can also be done with personality traits, but I feel like I personally do it more with physical traits.
Are you more critical of yourself than of other people?
