On Considering Others First
My offense in the past has often been simple— just moving on instinct or impulse, without reading or properly considering the feelings of others first.
It usually wasn't deliberate, but there was negligence at times, which had effects I only recognized in hindsight. And then I would find myself surprised when some people no longer wanted me around.
To get better, practice identifying and putting aside your weaknesses, insecurities, and immediate impulses to find people where they are at, and to discover how to contribute to their well being. Not in the way you first assume they want or need, but in a way that truly matters to them.
