Often people discuss their problems with me, or I overhear people discussing their issues in detail in public places. Sometimes they are related to work, to relationships (usually), family issues, or anything thing else. I listen, usually whole heartedly, but without fail my mind immediately says 'What is your contribution to this issue'?
I've found that people are quick to give a long list of reasons why the situation is what it is without giving a thought as to how, why, or what got them in it. There is plenty of blame on anyone involved or the policies that dictate the outcome;but never on self.
It is hard to self analyze for many people. It would mean having to acknowledge that "I did...I should have...I didn't..." and many cannot do this. It it important to realize your contribution to a problem in order to solve it or prevent a recurrence (the latter being most important). Once you can pinpoint your involvement in any situation you will immediately feel better about it and begin to remedy it.
A diagnosis is the only the only way to a cure.
