imho, other people criticize us for not conforming to social expectations in which they have been trying so hard to follow and now have become who they are and and how they judge and see people around. Second would be if you have something that people envy, a special ability, perhaps a unique quality. or even a charisma that draws other people to you(specially the opposite sex) and even worse having all these thing your not tack enough to be modest and give yourself some leverage at least to appease the crowd…

If we are truly honest, however, we will see that when we criticize other people we actually have the very same weakness ourselves.

Being responsible is a very powerful place to be in. For when we say we are not responsible, we give up the power to be able to change anything as well.
