Identify Your Own Social Skills Blunders By Analyzing Your Parents
Siblings

Your closest relatives including your parents, siblings and maybe even
your grandparents share some of the same genetic characteristics.
It's sometimes not easy for us to see our own mistakes in ourselves.
By analyzing the behaviors of those around us it is sometimes easier to

identify the problems. You might not see them in yourself, we all have
problems in ourselves that we are not aware of. It's very hard to
analyze your own problems because we have been living with them for
years and are used to them. Plus it's harder to accept a problem when
it comes from someone else in the form of a criticism.

It could be easier to identify problems when they come from someone
else. Observing your relatives, you might find some of the same
critical areas that you could improve on. What does your mom say about
your dad? What does your dad say about your mom? Have a sibling, what
do people say about them? How are your siblings coping with
relationship issues? Chances are you have some of the same behaviors as

your parents and siblings. Inherited or otherwise, don't try to deny
them, because they exist weather you are aware of it or not, or they
might come up in deeper relationships in the future.

Don't think you have a blind spot? Try this little exercise:

Hopefully this exercise shows how easy it is to have a blind spot that
we are completely oblivious to.
