Change of pace ping.
I had always heard about people making mistakes and how bad it made them feel. Then, late last year, I made a mistake. It felt awful. Now I know what they mean. I hope it never happens again.
I work with a jerk who gets andry, defensive and hostile whe SHE makes a mistake.
But if you put a period up-side-down in a sentence, she will send an e mail to you (including the whole office) about everything you did wrong from the day your mom brought you home from the hospital.

What if I’m missing a few pieces from my Mind Set?
***When someone makes a mistake, their brain makes two quick signals: an initial response that indicates something has gone awryMoser calls it the oh crap response***
My “oh crap” response is very well developed! LOL!

The willingness and ability to repent is a core Christian value. Now we are starting to see how beneficial it is to being able to grow and break out of unproductive and damaging behaviors.
The more narcissistic a person is the more difficult it is to repent because the act repudiates their carefully maintained image of themselves.
