When it comes to bad habits, it is not always about smoking.

There are more serious things that are important to notice in time so as not to poison the lives of yourself and those around you.

Shifting responsibility

You need to learn to take responsibility and understand that your life is yours alone, and a friend, neighbor or parent should not decide any issues for an adult, healthy, independent person.

Often people who have not learned to take responsibility for something let down their loved ones, fail to meet deadlines and face problems in their personal lives.

Devaluing other people's problems

Not everyone can support another in a difficult situation.

Also, few people can understand someone else's problem.

But it is important not to tell a person that they need to think positively or that things can be even worse somewhere.

If you can’t show empathy, then a polite phrase is enough and you don’t interfere with the situation with toxic optimism.

Apologies for show

Being able to ask for forgiveness for your mistakes is an important skill.

It is important to remember that the word "sorry" is not magical, it does not erase the offense. Here you need to show sincerity and admit that everyone can make mistakes.

Earlier we talked about how to refuse correctly and not feel guilty.
