A few weeks ago I was thinking about how I hate people who treat me badly or differently for no good reasons. Bullies, a-holes, bitches, etc. We all hate getting treated like crap when we don't deserve it. Many times these people will try and hold you back from being you, doing what you want, expressing yourself, having fun, achieving your goals, etc. I especially hate when people treat me differently because I believe something different then them (I have to deal with this one a bit because I'm a atheist).

So I'm thinking about how these people have tried to hold me back, but I never let them. I always triumphed in every area, such as school, health, and fitness, except one, which was attracting women. I thought, "who's holding me back from that?" I thought about that for a second, and then I realized it was me. I was holding myself back, stopping myself from doing what I wanted, stopping myself from expressing my desires, stopping myself from having fun and achieving my goals. I was a dick, an a-hole, not to anyone else, but to myself. I was doing to myself what I detested so much when others would do it to me (or other people).

If you've ever hated the way someone else has treated you, stop for a second and see if your doing it to yourself. In short, stop being a dick (to yourself).
