Which behavioural habits in others do you have the least patience for? This is a tricky question actually, because most things that annoy us do so because they mirror something in ourselves that we are not happy with subconsciously, or they set off triggers for issues stuffed down, laying dormant and unhealed.

I will still try to answer, because this is an important question, I can avoid blowing up at others or contantly feeling on edge. Perhaps by looking this thing, other people’s issues will be just that: other people issues, not mine.

1. Rudeness, I just have low tolerance toward rudeness. I avoid those people who are just plain rude. I am not even able to hide my dismay toward them.
2. Those who act that they know everything and everyone.
3. Holier than thou attitude. I’m definitely taking active steps to avoid these kinds of people. They truly are able to suck any level of energy that you have.

Why do these behaviors frustrate me so much? I’m not entirely sure yet. But maybe that’s the point—self-awareness is a journey, not a destination. By recognizing what unsettles me in others, I can better understand myself, my wounds, and the areas where I still need healing.

Perhaps the true path to peace isn’t avoiding these people, I just realized that avoidance has become my Ultimate strategy to cope with those matters, I need to learn, I should not let them disturb my own inner balance. Their behavior is theirs; my reaction is mine. If I can separate the two, I might just find a little more patience—not for them, but for myself.

May we all walk this path toward peace with open hearts and steady minds.

May you be at peace dearest readers,
