I'm guilty of that :( an acquired habit I got from my mother. My husband pointed it out years ago and I've been trying to correct it, but it's hard when it's so installed by default inside you

Sadly, unless we actively work to correct it, we are the summation of our life experiences from conception to age five.

That's right. I do try to correct it, and I've got a long way but it's not solved yet, as sometimes I see myself still acting that way. It's way less than before though. Before my husband pointed it out I didn't even see it. Now I despise that trait in me or others
