At what point do you accept you may be a clown, or a dumbass, or the bad guy?

Do any of us, at any point, look at ourselves and realize we may be the clown, the retard? Or the a-hole?

Has anyone here ever come to that conclusion over time? And what did you do about it?

Please give us your experience first.

Thanks.

If you're asking about self awareness, no most people do not have the ability to be introspective to that degree.

I can do kind things for people, and I strive to. But I seem genetically incapable of expressing kindness or empathy with words. It's a problem, TBH. Nobody has ever been able to make me feel better with words and I don't know how to make others feel better. I'm probably a little bit on the spectrum.

Everyone acts like a dumbass clown at various points. The key is to accept it, reflect upon it, and do better next time.


There are too many people in this world, however, that never come to the realization that they are acting like a clown, and so they end up becoming an actual clown.

The world needs more people like you, not less. Kind actions are infinitely more important than kind words. A small act of kindness when genuine gives hope. There's a reason the golden rule starts with "Do..." and not "Say...".

Took you long enough.

Why can’t I be all three?

I came to grips with being the a-hole in my relationship when my 7 year old daughter told me I was too impatient with my wife. I’m still the a-hole, but my infractions occur with far less frequency.

We are all these all the time, depending on perspective.
