Okay, so I am a very opinionated person just like a lot of you are. But does being opinionated make you a critic? I am not talking about a food critic or movie critic or an American Idol judge. I am talking about that guy or that girl that you know that you are friends with but almost can’t stand to be around them because they always have something to say about the way you do “Everything.” I hope you are not confused because you know exactly what I am talking about. Think about the other day when that person was in your car and you turned left and they thought you should have turned right. Instead of just keeping their mouth shut and moving on they rubbed it in for the next 3 weeks. I have met more and more of these type of people and I almost enjoy them… Yes, I just said I enjoy them because if you pay attention to these people, which is exactly what they want and at the same time stay on the outside of their Critic Bubble you will experience some of the most entertaining conversations you have ever heard or been a part of.
I am the type of person that when you are full of crap and I hear you attempting to spread your crap I will call you out on it, but I have also come to notice that most of the “Critics” im right your wrong people are usually the people I am calling out, if you just sit back and let them continue to dig the hypothetical hole that the thing they call a mouth is digging eventually they begin to backfill that hole and call themselves out. As sad as that seems it is so true.
Some of the questions I ask myself when I am around some of these people is, do they know that they are saying that? Do they really think I believe that crap? Right after I asked myself those question I then begin to turn the questions my way…. Wait for it….. Wait for it…… Uh oh, Am I being a critic by standing back and criticizing this persons tendency to criticize? Did I know I was doing that? What was I thinking? Oddly enough the saying “Everyones A Critic” holds more water then you thought doesn’t it. If I remember correctly we are all supposed to help each other to move forward in life and sometimes we decide to stand back and look at what someone else is doing and just say well I’m glad I am not like that or, Look at that person criticizing everyone and everything, they should not do that they should instead be doing ( Insert your criticism here ). In my opinion every single one of us should look in our own mirror and take a look at ourselves before we decided to look into someone elses. If you look closely you may agree “Everyones A Critic”
This thought was not brought on by anyone or anything in particular, it’s just one of my inner thoughts I decided to turn inside out.
