Disapproval

I am an opinionated person. I have opinions on a LOT of things. I am usually very quick to share these opinions with whoever wants (or doesn't so much want) to hear them. I am learning, oh so very slowly, to not always share my disapproval of things that my friends do with them. It is hard! I even find that sometimes my not telling them interferes with how well I think of them.

Before you think I just have to have my own way about every little thing, I am not talking about little things bugging me. I am talking about things where they profess one thing but then actively do another. I feel that I should call them on it, however I know that I need to look at my own intentions for that.

Do I feel lead to call them on these things because I am hoping to help them? Or do I want to call them on these things because I want to be right?

So far I don't have an answer to this so I keep my mouth shut. However I find that when I keep my mouth shut, if I read or hear about the situation that causes me to be in conflict, I find myself losing respect for the friend or just getting irritated at the person.

The irritation then leads me to wonder if I am irritated at them for doing whatever or at myself for not saying anything or what? ARGH! I hate circular thought patterns!!!!
