Funny about the mirror thing -
I am always amazed that I can find a part of me in everyone....Even in people I like not so much...It's often scary to recognize a character trait I am very offended by - in me.....
Sooooooo!
If I am totally offended by someone I usually sit and think, now why am I so offended......It usually has something to do with a part of myself that once I find I can work on....
Once I find it and identify it, it doesn't seem to be so offensive for some reason....Ponder that one!
usually the behaviors you dislike the most in ppl are the ones you display the most--soooooooo when someone gets under your skin---you need to look in and see if it is part of you
there are several good books on shadow work--when we accept the things that we deem not good traits(some are deemed that way from childhood and are really ok) the things we think of as negative really aren't and mellow out
