Each of us is made up of certain unique experiences, ideas, prejudices and expectations. These things make up a “filter” through which we see the world. 

Like a pair of faulty glasses, this “filter” allows us only limited vision. We think we can see ourselves clearly, but the further we get from ourselves, the fuzzier our vision is. There is a great chart that lists how we see ourselves as opposed to how we see others around us. It’s called –

I’m Chatty
You’re Unusually Talkative

I’m Neat
You’re Fussy
They’re Far Too Exacting

I’m Neighborly
You’re Too Nosy
They’re a Gossip

I’m a Good Shopper
You’re Thrifty

I’m Confident
You’re Slightly Boastful
They’re Egotistical

I’m Firm
You’re Stubborn at Times
They’re a Pig-Headed Fool
