Are You Seeing Your Own Flaws in Others?

Personality isn’t just about what we show—it’s also about what we hide beneath the surface.


Have you ever criticised someone for being disorganised, only to realise your own life is a mess? Or called someone stubborn, only to see that you never back down from an argument yourself?


👉 When we get irritated by others, it often reveals something about us.


👉 These reactions point to qualities we might be hiding—or unaware of.



So, what can you do?


Instead of reacting impulsively, try pausing and asking yourself:


❓ Am I projecting my insecurities onto them?


❓ Is their behaviour triggering something unresolved within me?


The next time you feel frustrated or annoyed, take a moment to reflect. There’s often a hidden insight waiting in your shadow.


If you want to improve your leadership through deeper self awareness, get in touch to discuss how coaching can help.
