Spiritual Gifts, I believe Westerners, on average, have lives that are way…

- - - - I forget that other people are as sensitive as I am. I am annoyed by other people's feelings until I stop and logically work my way through some of my past feelings. Empathy is my second reaction, unfortunately. It should be first.
        
        I have been told I'm too honest. If a friend wants advice, I will never give her the bad advice for the sake of her feelings. That's not the problem though. It's the delivery.
        
        Again, why am I so rough? How can I simultaneously care so much about people and genuinely want to help them, but also see them as pitiful, annoying creatures?
        
        Maybe I don't think anything in this world has enough order to it. Chaos is the scariest thing in the world.
        
        Thought process - "Your life is messy, so you are messy, and you will clean it up, or I will do it for you. We will worry about our feelings after the immediate danger has passed."
    - - I tend to think of people as mostly incompetent.
        
        I am too prideful to ask for help. So I just kind of drown on the inside until I've forcefully shoved my way through the task.
- - - - Proper administration reduces reliance on dishonesty. It also leads to an appreciation of earned praise.
        
        I love criticism and feedback. I get a massive dopamine hit when someone says "good job," and I become restless without it.
        
        I can make better sense of my world if it is organized, and adhere to protocols, including practicing proper empathy.
    - - I believe that being organized, structured, and disciplined gave me a better shot at being a good person.
        
        I can extend goodness to others, because you can't help someone if you're a mess
        
        I love leading people to success.
        
        My friends and family rely on me for these skills. I love being able to assist them.
- - - - :warning: I haven't forgiven my parents, and I thought I did. If I actually had, I wouldn't think they were garbage and feel like I need to be better than them. I think I'm actively trying to erase their existence through me. They don't deserve to be remembered or emulated. I will not become who they raised me to be. :warning:
        
        Holy cow - a breakthrough!
        
        People too readily accept the hand they're given. Discard and draw again. That is always an option.
        
        This might be bad, but it truly is a gift. The traits I want to weed out are not glorifying to God. I can't hold onto those but also have room for the Holy Spirit.
