People Help Me By Telling Me The Truth (Winter 2000)

I go through life everyday trying to understand more about this world, but I especially want to understand more about myself. The other day I went bar hopping with my brother and we had our worldly conversations as we usually do. I was telling him some things I've learned about myself, some things that I realized I needed to change. My brother then said, "I've realized something about you recently, but you might not like it."

He was hesitating to tell me because he didn't want to hurt my feelings. I then asked him as a friend to tell me what he knows that I haven't realized about myself yet. He then came out and told me. What he told me was very true. He made me realize something that I did need to work on.

This was awesome to me in a way. It didn't hurt me at all because what he knew was true. He helped me understand myself a little better and I thank him for that. Now that I understand a negative trait about myself that I never realized before, I can now work towards bettering myself.

I've had past relationships where I've asked a few of the women the same thing. I asked them to tell me things I need to work on, tell me things I'm doing wrong, or tell me things that I need to understand about myself. The strange thing is, the woman I asked this never expressed the truth to me like my brother did.

I give another example in the thought called
"Sex/Relationships"
