Thread: Recognising annoying traits in yourself

I have these personality traits of which I think it would be wonderful if everybody had them. And also traits that just piss me off and that almost everybody seems to have. When I recognise one of these negative traits in myself, I feel like I have discovered a rotten part of my soul. It's a very uncomfortable feeling.

How do you feel about this? Is it caused by an arrogantly held belief that "Other people do this, not me. I don't want to be somebody who ....."

I don't know why I placed this in philosophy or even in extended discussion. I'm sleepy and my thinking is impaired, so mods, I apologise if you feel that this is not the appropriate place for this thread. I know that none of you are nitpicky about this, or anything, but still..
