I believe the most destructive problem -- and the most common
is giving too much power to the "voices" of others
. . . those who "allow" others to rain too heavily on their parade
are the most unhappy
as well as the most confused
. . . try to understand the "motivations" (and mindset) of those around you
not everyone who claims they care . . . cares about "you"
they often care more about limiting their unhappiness with (and within) themselves
so stepping on your head may be seen as a tool to help them appear taller than they are
that is their issue -- please don't allow it also to be yours
