Plank removed from eye, too late for WAW? 8

[Heimlich]

Thanks for the kick in the ass and the pat on the head (of better hair).

Got some thinking to do.

Anybody else pick up on this? I know that when i was younger, I could give off an arrogant, I'm better than you vibe. I've worked on that over the years. Sometimes lapse, but realize it quickly. I also know that when I disagree (partially or totally), I can come back stronger than I intend. That's usually because I want to understand better what someone is telling me. I've figured out over the years that it comes off as cockiness or not wanting to listen or plain ol' defensiveness, when inside I just want to understand. OT is familiar with this from me, I believe.

And, no, I don't know that I've forgiven myself for all of this shyte. I don't beat myself up, I just ignore it.
