Day 1: Something you hate about yourself

So, I know I promised I would start the 30 days of truth probably close to a week ago. This is my life. And so, a week later, I finally begin..... which brings me to the truth for day 1: What is something you hate about yourself?

I could easily talk about my procrastination. It's no secret though, and would almost be a cop-out. Therefor I will talk about something else that many of you may not know about.

One of my biggest strengths is actually one of my greatest weaknesses - the ability to psychoanalyze people.

I'm great at reading people, at understanding why they do or think things. I could easily tell you what part of your past makes you act or feel a certain way. Now, you may be wondering why this might be a bad thing. After all, this trait is perfect for my goal career.

The problem is I can't turn it off.

I can't stop thinking logically.

I can't EMOTIONALLY relate to people.

I'm a great psychologist. Not such a good friend or wife.

Every time someone has a problem I want to play psychologist. I want to point out other peoples' point of view. I want to point out the faults in their thinking. I want to psychoanalyze the situation.

That's not what people want.

My husband has said how much he hates it, how he hates that I know what he's thinking before he does. He hates when I point out that he has no reason to be mad about certain things, when I defend the people or situations he is mad about.

And I hate that I can't just sit down and comfort him in the way he wants.
