Annoying people

JeffreyJeffrey Veteran
edited April 2012 in Buddhism Basics
I know the usual response it to embrace one's nature, but my tendency is to keep pushing attention on myself. Like when I can't think of an idea I call to mind all the people who have talked to me.

Can anyone help??

Insight into the other side of the experience is welcome too.

    You do not seem annoying to me, Jeffery. Maybe instead of accepting yourself you can just drop the whole mess. Just drop it. Start fresh.. No one is keeping a ledger on you.

    You are free to forget and just do stuff. Just like that. :)


    .... you will annoy someone.. everybody will annoy someone sometimes.. who cares? we are messy things. if someone holds onto being annoyed by others it is his/her issue.

    read 'anumana sutta' in majjima nikaya
    it shows us all (16 main) bad qualities within us
    one of those are the reason for us to get annoyed of others

    remedy:
    try to think about good qualities of the person who annoy you

    at the beginning it doesn't seem to work
    but
    believe me, it does
    you will see how true is this without taking much time
