I think I've discovered another one of my weaknesses. this one involves the interaction of people and my predetermined disposition to how they behave. I suppose that if I had to categorize it that it would fall under the aspects of tolerance, integrity and friendliness.
when you meet someone, generally speaking, you try to be friendly and cordial overlooking certain misgivings or awkwardness. I think for the most part this is normal. One tries to focus on the positive aspects of meeting someone new. There is a certain threshold that each person has before that exterior cushion of tolerance breaks. This is further divided under which aspect of tolerance each of us holds per characteristic we think is important. Telling someone that they are making of fool of themselves is different than telling them that they have something in their teeth. This again is further complicated by the relationship level we have with that person, whether they are a stranger or are family/loved ones.
For myself, I like to think I know my levels of tolerance versus friendliness. my problem comes to perceiving others in this scenario. What to do when you see how someone else handles such situations. Therein lies my weakness, when to interfere, when not to.. and if I do, to what degree of interference do I implement. This again has a myriad of thresholds to consider.. with the situation as well as the person involved. I won't elaborate too much more, it was not my intent to reveal my weakness. I think though, for some odd reason, that this is a very complex issue. It makes me uncertain when I figure out what my weaknesses are... *sigh*
