People who spend their time looking for flaws in others do so as a mental buffer to protect themselves from what they would see if they looked at themselves. It’s easier to point out shortcomings in others than it is to honestly look at their own flaws, take responsibility for how they feel about themselves and take action to improve themselves.
When a person spends time looking for flaws in others, they reveal that there is something inside of them that needs healing.
What I think many people don’t realize, is that when they criticize others, they are actually feeding their own insecurities and making them worse. They feel a temporary ego boost and illusion of being superior to someone else, but it is very short lived. They keep repeating the behavior to “feel better”, because that is how they have learned to feel good about themselves – except they never really do. And inside they know they are being cruel, which makes them feel worse about themselves.
When dealing with these kinds of people, try not to take their negativity personally. Hurt people, hurt people. Vibrate higher. Don’t lose your luster and stay in the light.
