Do you "Fear" yourself?
I have always noticed that those that are most critical of others have never really taken notice of themselves. Criticism of others is usually a displaced emotional reaction to the lives they themselves live.
Are you afraid to look at yourself? Do you know that you can see the person inside if you really look? Did you know you can effect more positive change in the world if you did?
If you have then you are up on those around you.
Update:go Yankees!

I'm a very introspective person.
I have been all my life and I consider it a necessity of sorts... at least in part for the reason you point out here.
Really good question, btw!
I have and this has also led me to believe that I am no better than anyone else. To believe that I am better then others would then mean that I feel Superior to them. Which to me would then mean that I haven't looked deep enough inside to be truly happy with who I am.
We create a positive or negative world by the actions we take. I chose to create a more positive one by the ones I do. Just look a little deeper to find the truth in these words, but you are right in what you said. Perhaps just not the last sentence.
It is not me I fear, but rather what the living God has placed in me, I see how fragile the human Mind is, and the Heart as well, just a few wrong words can ignite a fire of trouble, it is like fads that have come and gone, the beatles who swept through the music world, it is like a gate that opens and the flood comes to, it is the fear of the living God, you know, I never really thought of it, until you mentioned it, LOL, so I walk with the fruits of the spirit, for now. I agree with you completly, critisism creates animosity, a spirit of animus, a hostile animal instinct, animal mated, animated outwards when provoked, it is sad but true, and easy to see to me, people open their mouths and out comes the trueness of them from their Hearts that drive their Minds into acts upon others, every one needs to prepare, I see ugly things coming soon if it be the path they choose, weapons weep upon the weak of Mind, it is the common people who suffer the most, for the leaders are dug in deep, where will you stand when the lean adders of leaders unleash their venom on mankind ? We will grieve towards gree, then agree of the times, I would love for you and every one to think of children of a young age, and their concept of to die a mortal life, I hear their laughter die in them as the days aproach of the morons we call leaders, you mark these words as true for the little ones, let the adults of this world explain to them why ? I would love to hear a story fabricated to justify their ignorance of life to the little ones, so I can spit in their eye and call them a liar, I have no fear death, why would I, the living God has already came to me, and assured me he is here and there, to not temp God of proof, that means get up and do something about it, there is no burden to place on the living God, it is our burden to live or die ! Sorry my friend, but that has been eating at me for awhile, that is what is in me, and it hurts way deeper than any one can imagine, peace be unto you in the closing days.
Well, I AM frighteningly handsome, but no, I'm not afraid of myself, per say. I have looked for undesirable traits and inconsistencies in my own person as well, and think I've done a pretty good job of eradicating or atoning them. However, this has little bearing on wat you seem to be asking, or, rather, telling everybody in question form.
Fear is a movement of thought. When I have fear, I am fear. My attention is flowing over the pattern of thought which is fear. Attention is like water, it takes the shape of the container it is in.
So when I fear, I am fear. There is no gap between me, and fear, when I fear.
sounds like you may be projecting... or maybe you're right on target? I, myself, look at many aspects of myself, and accept who I am as a "whole." I am a work in progress.
I know exactly who I am, and I like who I am too.
Here's lookin' at you kid.
