I want to make some changes with my life. It's not that I'm unhappy, not at all--I'm the happiest I've been in awhile. But I want to complete a change that I feel like has been long in coming. People consistently give one criticism of me: that I'm arrogant. Or judgmental, but I think the two are linked. And while I categorically deny it, I've begun to see how a lot of the things I do can come across as such.
So, I want to stop doing that. I don't want people to think that I believe I'm better than them. I don't want people to think that I'm arrogant or high-strung. I don't want people to think that I always think I'm right, because more often than not, I'm wrong, and I'll be the first to admit it. When I was in elementary and middle school, the highest compliment people usually paid me was that I was a nice guy. Maybe I lost track of that at some point. I want to be that again.
