Former assholes tell: That's why I became a better person

Asshole, the [noun, noun]: human, who thinks only of himself and does not hesitate to step on others' feet. Everyone knows at least one, but no one knows how to make an asshole? or how to convert assholes.

With the latter, we may now come a little further. In "Reddit", numerous former assholes have shared their story of why they have become a better person. Here are ten examples.

This has helped former assholes to become a better person

1. love

"I found my dream girl, she made me realize what an asshole I was, it said: Either I change or I lose her, the easiest decision I've ever made!"



2. children

"I got married and had a baby (now two), I wanted to be a good role model, I made progress, regress, progress ... sometimes I'm still an ass, but I try to educate my kids properly."

3. loss

"When I was 20, my mother died, her death was very close to many people, and when I saw that, I realized that if I continued like this, only people would come to my funeral to spit on my grave.

After pretty much the worst thing I could think of, little things just did not matter to me to upset. And I paid more attention to how I act on others. Just because you feel something does not mean that others feel that too. And they judge you after your actions, not after what's going on in you. "



4th punishment

"I was sitting in a police car when the dime fell to me, that only myself was responsible for my actions, since then I've been trying to become the person I want to be, turning 180 degrees and I am now considerate and warmhearted. "

5. The New Year

"A New Year's resolution ..."

6. Wise words

"This one quote that says if every person you meet is an ass, then maybe YOU are the ass, it just can not be that all the people around the world are corrosive."

7. Honest words

"A couple of years ago, I was a hell of a bitch, I was not interested in anyone but myself, and anyone who needed my help could turn me on, I was vain, selfish, and mean." Two friends then asked for a conversation and me said: 'Mhisper, we have to talk ... you're kind of an ass.' This conversation changed my life and opened my eyes, making me a better man. "



8. Self-knowledge

"I was an arrogant Bitch, not because I wanted to be angry, but because I was so busy with my problems and living in a world that nobody else seemed to understand, I simply had no place in my heart for empathy and compassion I understood that I had a serious problem, not me, but me.

Since then, I've been working to become a person I'm happy with, but who makes others happy too? especially since I realized how much I like to make others happy. It's also risky because you can never make everyone happy, which is sometimes frustrating ... but I still find my way there
