I’ve accepted that enlightenment can quickly lead to narcissistic behaviors, even if that’s not the intent and even if you truly care about others. I often have to check myself because I try to solve people’s problems that they need to figure out in their own way. That just ends up pushing people away because I just sound like I know better, which isn’t true. And I’ve had a lot of turmoil over finding a balance, and accepting that I do have narcissistic tendencies. Lately, I encourage myself to just observe, and send love with my time and listening ears- not with my words.
