Re: Do you think hypocrites have low self esteem?

I believe the people on this forum that criticize have built up anger that needs to come out. The forum to me is a form of therapy although some go to far with their anger.

Look beneath the post's of the people that are always "" in a bad mood"" and return with kindness.

Don't worry, be Happy!

Everyone who has posted comments that we are all hypocrites has "admitted" it, including myself.

Yes I will admit it too. It is human nature. Those in denial find it easier to post examples of hypocrisy in others not realizing how obvious their own denial is to everyone.

I've admitted to it several times in the thread, as have others. I think it's pretty clear, over time, when we see some with a pattern of pointing fingers at others and little or no pattern of being self-aware... and others who often admit to mistakes and stumbles when they make them. I make a lot of mistakes, do my best to acknowledge and apologize, and move forward. It's the human condition.


Absolutely I have seen you apologize and try to make things right with other posters. I respect that.

Thanks, LaVieEnRose! That's kind of you to say. I've learned that most posters here can do the same, have done the same, and it's always encouraging to see.

{#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}To you, too, Holly! No matter what the problem, we can figure it out, right? At least I hope so.

I'm sorry for anything mean I've said to you. I just thought sometimes you were picking on me and when others were calling me a troll you didnt call them out on it so I was assuming you were agreeing with them.{#emotions_dlg.unsure}

Oh, Holly. My goodness. Thank you for the apology, of course accepted though all I really wanted was to understand what had happened. I've been so wrong about so many things so many times, and I realize I sometimes post too quickly and then don't see the ripple effect. Also, I do understand when we can't be here 24/7 we don't see everything everyone says or does. I used to get upset with those who seemed to "side" with certain posters all the time or "call out" only a few. Then I realized I don't have any idea what they do when I'm not here, nor do I know what hurt or sensitivities they might have. Or even some of the genuine, valuable real-life friendships that have been formed here.

That's why it's so important that we confront each other when problems arise, and try our best to resolve them then and there so hard feelings don't carry forward. The written word is so inadequate. I'm so very sorry I hurt you and I do promise I'm trying to learn as I go and do better when I know better (to paraphrase Maya Angelou). Please accept my apology.

Good Morning! Of course I will accept your apology. You're a classy lady.{#emotions_dlg.thumbup1} Thank you. Smile

Haven't read all the responses but I think it could mean different things for different people.

I believe all humans, at one time or another, will behave hypocritically.


Yeah, I think I'm guilty of that right now in my life. Not here on the boards or anything, just in my actual life. But I can't help it. I don't like living with certain people.

Well, some posters on this board complain about everything about QVC, but have no problem using its resources (forums, employee mods, bandwidth, etc.). Flame away, ladies.

And yes, I am ashamed to say that I have been a hypocrite at times.

Good afternoon and thanks, Holly Days! I appreciate the kind words and the understanding. Right back atcha! So cool that we can "talk it out" here sometimes!

Kitty that's a good answer with most threads........one answer doesn't fit all. But some people will try to force everybody to think the same way they do lol.

They have low reality-assessment skills, perhaps.
