Me too, but if it's any consolation, I suspect it's all acting and not something he really believes. Nevertheless, it made me lose a lot of the respect I still had for the person behind the persona.
With the rare exception of unemotional objectivity, people always subjectively project their own
shortcomings and faults (of which they are already all too painfully aware) upon the the personalities
and persons selected as the objects of their harsh judgement, self serving ridicule or public scorn.
People lavishly ascribe blame and fault, in odd and heated moments, criticizing others for the very same
things of which they themselves are guilty. Easy to understand why. All of us concentrate within and view
the world around us from the limited boundaries of our own personal frame of reference. It's all we have.
Hypothetical... a person who has seldom if ever lied is unlikely to accuse you of doing so, because
deception is simply not their area of weakness or hot button issue. Same person is quite capable
of criticizing your real or imagined immoderation, after a social drink or two, if he or she is a habitual
drunkard. Pay attention to the pattern of what people criticize in others and see inside their souls.

Your overgeneralisations don't make sense, and I am pretty sure you know it.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI wouldn't even call them exceptions because I don't believe your reason is the most common one for criticism. Here are some possible reasons for criticism which will often occur in different kinds of combinations:
What, Nordlys, in your view are the exceptions?
- objective reasons
- cultural reasons (having grown up in a culture that condemns a certain behaviour or view)
- seeing other people criticising something and jumping on the bandwagon
- personal negative experience with the criticised behaviour/view as a victim or friend or relative of a victim
- feelings of solidarity with the victimised group / person
- misunderstandings
- a personal dislike of a behaviour/view due to sensory or emotional hypersensitivities
- personal experience with the criticised behaviour/view as something you exhibit or used to exhibit yourself, but don't or didn't like in yourself (yes, it certainly happens, so I won't leave it out of the list)
I am probably forgetting something, but I think this may cover most cases.
