Trait 6: We have a overdeveloped since of responsibility of responsibility
Trait 6: We have a overdeveloped since of responsibility,and its easier for us to be concerned with others rather than ourselves; this enables us to not look too closely at our own faults, etc.
I can say this is so true! I feel like this is slightly an issue for me. I feel responsible for everyone in the sense of their happiness and not making them angry; which in turn, only hurts me and my happiness. In concer for others rather than myslef, I think it, again, goes along with the happiness part! I am never worried if others are completing tasks on time or getting thier life together, but when someone is down and out or just upset, I always feel th need to jump in and save the day... which just overwhelmes me and makes my anxiety skyrocket!
Fault wise?? No. I think think I am actually more forgiving of other's faults than my own! I can be pretty judgemental at sometimes (the typical "omg, her shorts are way to short. OR Ew, she has made out with three guys in one night" type stuff hahaha! I think its a girl thing?). But lately I have gotten way better. In the sense that now I feel more: Damn girl, rock those shorts! Wish I could and Hey, she's signle... nothing wrong with a little fun, yeah?
I am way more worried about my faults than those of others... I'm my own worst critic and it's time I relax and enjoy life! I am so sick of taking everything so damn serious!!!!! I want to have my carefree moments!

Helping others makes us feel that we are improving ourselves and overcoming our own faults. It's sort of a trap.
johnnycake: You are so right. It really it. and it is my weakness that i am trying to work on. I don't mind helping anyone, but I need to learn that I don't have to reschedule my life to do it...
