Hypocrisy Syndrome

A hypocrite is someone who complains about a behavior but does it themselves.

This is similar to a Self-serving bias. The Hypocrisy Syndrome is seeing a behavior as okay when we do it but horrible when other's do it.

Below are some examples. It seems to me that all humans are hypocrites, but of course not you. How many can you come up with? Notice what annoys you and see how you feel when you do this to others.

People dislike hypocrites. If you are a hypocrite which I assure you are, then there are a number of people who will be hard to persuade since they don't like you. The point is to notice what makes you feel bad. Then notice when you do this to others. You need to be aware of what's preventing people from liking you, which is one of the seven elements of persuasion.
