You feel the need to assert yourself

You are always quick to criticise. Your unsupressable need to dish out advice to others on how they should behave even seems to dictate the way you operate in relationships. You like to think that your purpose in life is to point out other people’s faults. What's more, you’re very good at it; you've got an enviable way of telling people home truths. However, the risk is that your frankness won't be appreciated, and that you'll end up hurting people. It might be interesting to use your flair for analysis to look in to the reasons for your behaviour and to find a way to tone it down. Maybe you need recognition from the people around you, in which case your habit of pointing out people's weaknesses strengthens your own sense of identity. Children do this, too, at the age when they are realising that they are different individuals from their parents, but carrying on into adulthood indicates a lack of self-confidence and a deep need to be loved. Working on your self-esteem would help. Those close to you would discover and learn to appreciate your depth and sensitivity, both of which are sides to your personality that normally stay hidden.
