I was one of the ones who used to complain about everything that happened to me and why people always tried to mess with me. Then I grew up and figured it out that others weren't doing it to me: I was. They were only doing what I was letting myself do to me. So I figured it out that if I wanted others to stop doing that to me, I had to be the one that stopped doing it to me first.

based on the earlier work of British anthropologist Ernest Crawley[citation needed]. The term describes the manner in which our negative feelings are sometimes directed at people who resemble us, while we take pride from the "small differences" that distinguish us from them.
