  I see it as further incentive for myself. I look around and see people who look like a mess, don’t pay attention to their surroundings, just act childish, don’t seem to care for themselves or others around them. I see that and want to make myself better than that. It’s been a relatively slow but steady climb and I’m relatively pleased with how far I’ve come in the time since I realized I was that kind of person. A lot can happen in a year. >
  
  A great way to realize a fault in yourself is to see it in others. >
  
  Agreed. It suck’s when your on your path to growth and others just don’t want to change for the better. It also sucks when you realize you can’t have the same relationship with them as you used to >
  
  Nope. If you’re taking those peoples opinions you still need growing. There’s a point when you must stop caring about everyone’s opinion and literally do what you’re saying and better yourself.
