Everybody has peculiar characteristics. For instants, I call everybody who’s name I don’t know Bob, I sing “in the jungle” whenever somebody asks me to sing a song and the more I drink, the louder I start speaking.
Everybody has funny and odd characteristics, but till what point can you change them. With that I mean your own personality. Not because your boyfriend is always wearing a fugly sweater, or your best friend who forgets all about you when she’s with a guy.*
Everybody wants to change something about themselves. But where to start…
- I think the first step is Acceptance, acknowledging that you have the nagging habit to distrust every person you meet while there is no reason for it.
- Second step Motivation. If it’s not health problems that motivate you, then avoiding heartache.
- Last and final step Action. Change the habit, try to make a better one.
But for most people the second step will be an obstacle, I know it is for me. If you can’t find the motivation to change it, then I guess your third step will be acceptance again.
