not liking the way others see things.
Example: Disney World.
What I feel: Disney World isn't that great.
What others said to that:

What others said to that:
you've never been with friends, you went as a nanny.
My thought:
I still value going out to a cabin by the lake and being away from the world and technology for a week more.
What others said:
That's nice.
I like both of those things.
They're different.
I've been camping too.
My thought:
No, I like that better than Disney World by a landslide. I like nature more than contrived human things that waste your money and stress you out.
Others:
What about traveling? You have to plan that and it can be stressful, but it's fun.
Me:
Well yes that's nice, but I still rather be reading a book on a dock without plans for a week enjoying nature. Kayaking, walking, reading, writing, thinking, free from phones, tv, computers...that's a vacation; traveling is traveling.
Others:
You've just never been to Disney World at the right time with the right people.
Me (in my head):
You're all so superficial and materialistic...
Me (later):
I'm not better than them. I just want them to see things my way and value them too. But they don't. Who says I'm right other than me and like minded people? What gives me the right to view their opinion as less worthy?
Being keenly aware of my faults is humbling, but sometimes not quite because I view this as something that a lot of others don't do but should. Which brings me back to the whole issue. Don't you just love the endless cycles you get yourself into?
