a grain (or two) of truth... criticism often contains a grain of truth.
for example, i've been called pompous and self-righteous about my comments on politics, human rights, animal rights and veganism before, and i have to say that there is definitely a grain (or a pot of - hopefully vegan - grains) of truth to that. 
what criticism have you received that, after some reflection, may have some grain of truth to it? | |

That I am just too handsome, too smart, too perfect for anyone to feel comfortable around me.  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

now, if i expected everybody to be vegan, that would be incredibly pompous, now, wouldn't it...
actually, i was quite serious about this thread - for people to come out and criticize somebody, with some exceptions, there's probably some truth to it. and i'm willing to accept that. | |

I know that I judge people before getting to really know them, I know that I dismiss people far too easily. I guess the worst part about it is, I realize this, say it's a horrible thing to do and yet I really have done nothing to change it. That's what makes me go about it. | |

but i know it can be true... but how does one stop thinking?? is there really such a thing as thinking too much? unless it's about thinking without ever acting... my FIL is like that - it seems like it takes him AGES to make a decision on some fairly easy things... that's frustrating to those affected who are sitting around waiting for him to make up his mind.  | |

unless it's about thinking without ever acting... more so thinking and worrying about the future possible future hurdles and problems... or a couple of unreturned phonecalls and i start analysing what a potential problem might exist instead of just letting things happen it's not a problem for me but i hear "you think too much" more often than i would like lol She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay | |
