Spexx, it was when my 3.5 year old daughter asked me over and over, "Mom, are you mad at me?" I knew I had crossed the line. Until she said something, I didn't realize how I was affecting her. She was starting to become afraid of me and my out of control temper as I was getting shorter and shorter with her. I could write off my husband telling me I was being out of control, but when my daughter basically was saying the same thing, it shocked me into reality.

Yeah, you're walking around doing what you're doing, and BAM! someone points out that you're being a dick. "But I'm just being me". "No, that wasn't you, it was a dick speaking through you". Oh...

Good point Spexx and it made me think of another point. Some people that are naturally reclusive, limit their normal contact with outsiders. People that are shy, sullen teens, or general loners, might never have that feedback of someone telling them they're acting differently because nobody sees them enough to know what their normal is.

If you see someone at the store, you know who they are, but don't know them, and they bite your head off over something trivial, you think they're a dick. They may be having a bad time or high stress, and you would never know it because you don't know them.

Of course....some people are dicks. I don't know how you'd evaluate them.
