People who criticize too much

The world is but a menagerie. I've often encountered people quick to criticize others despite their own imperfections. When confronted with the reality that nobody is perfect, including themselves, they become sentimental and hostile. Have you ever met people who constantly find faults in others but themselves and never miss a chance to rain on someone’s parade?

@AmbiePam well, I didn't say much...but this also includes my family members...so when I try to point out that nobody is perfect and they are not right, they become all emotional (negative emotions) and somewhat aggressive (by words)

Thankfully, I haven't noticed that very often and tend not to be around people like that after I do notice it. There's no reason to point out mistakes made by others...

@Dreamerby Yeah, you'll never get them to change so there's no use in trying.

Yes I like to say that to them too but sometimes I just stay quiet to conserve energy

Yes it is quite often the case. And well, often many of them are what are called as "Relatives". In fact, it is easier to be friends these days than to be with certain relatives.

I find that a lot of criticism of others is just projection. As it says iin one of the text books I use when I teach psychology, "The best way to find out what a person is like is to hear how they describe others."

A lot of people here is like that always criticize other people but they can't see their own imperfections. That's too sad for me.

@Dreamerby I can see it and I know the feeling of being judged. But I'm good right now. Have a great day!

Self-awareness is a characteristic that seems to be fading in the world.

Actually, the world is full of such people. At least my world. I've hundreds of examples where people are so interested in what priests are doing and showcasing how they are imperfect. But when it comes to their own, they avoid talking about it.

I know some people who are close to me who find fault with my way of earning money compared to their way of earning money.
