You know, I really enjoy managing everything around me. I recently talked to my friend about her attitude. She seemed quite arrogant and didn’t notice anyone else’s feelings. We have all encountered those types of people who appear uninterested in others. she truly believed she was the best person in the world. While it’s okay to have confidence too much of it can lead to a lock of humility. I believe it is essential to be a humble person who loves, cares for and emphasizes with others. My friend was someone who would emphasize I really struggle with people who priorities themselves over others. While it’s perfectly fine for anyone to focus on their own needs, I respect that opinion. However, from my perspective, being humble and caring toward others is important. No one should act in ways that upset other or make them feel unaddicted. I’m genuinely proud of myself for helping her adapt a more humble attitude and I’m thrilled to say she’s now my best friend because of her change. After she agreed to work on her demeanor, I felt a strong sense of accomplishment and happiness knowing that I had helped her see things from a different perspective.
