People do this all the time, my self included. But I truly believe it is senseless to try to change other people or expect them to change simply because you don't like how they do things.
For one thing if you allow others to bother you, then you are giving them the power to control how you feel. No one is responsable for how you feel,
only you can take responsibility for how you feel, you can't blame others. Learn to let go of the need to be in control of what others are doing. Control is an allusion, you can't be in control of everything, all the time. You may create your own reality but you don't create the reality of others and you can never control it. Think about your priorities for a moment. What do they all boil down to? Is it happiness? (for your self and those around you) Or do you just want to be right even if it means you and everyone else are unhappy.
I'll tell you a secret,
the only one who is in control of you is, your unconscious. He/She is the one who make all the decisions. Not your Mother, or your Father, your teacher or your mentor, your brother or sister, Grandma or Grandpa and not your self/ego. Your unconscious controls everything, that's it's job. That's how it protects you, it's only trying to make you happy. But you have to tell it what it is that will make you happy and make sure that it understands. You can talk to it, and it will answer you if you listen. but even if you cant hear it you can still help it to understand what it is that you want. Simply keep your self focused on what you want. So if Joe Blow steps on your foot forgive him and let it go. if people aren't doing things or acting the way you want, try to let them be their selves for a change and see what happens.
Because I'll tell you another secret,
People are only doing the best they can at that moment. They don't want you to be unhappy, any more than they themselves want to be unhappy. But their experiences up until that moment have taught them to act and respond a certain way. They don't know how else to act or respond. And they can't respond any differently until they have a new experience that teach them to act and respond differently. And guess what, your doing the same thing.
So have some patience and be more tolerant of others. It will help you both to have a happier experience. Happiness is my priority, it's everyone's priority. Be happy!
