Misattribution

I think we misattribute our feelings sometimes.
No, I know we do.
Sometimes, we get frustrated WITH OURSELVES.
Let's say I had a meeting/a class/fill in the blank I was to attend. And I forget to go.
Now, I'm pretty upset at myself. But instead of admitting that I might snap at the next person who unknowingly rubs me the wrong way, and blame them for my bad day. And God forbid that same person does anything else that bothers me. Because at that point, I will have myself believing that it is their fault I feel not so great. When it can be traced back to my own short coming.
Likewise, we might specify a general feeling and give it singular meaning.
Example: Everything in life seems monotonous. Everything seems the same day in and day out and you are sick of the same routine and the same people and the same same same. That isn't any one person's fault. But you know, it's easy to pin point your parents as being the focal point of this. They are ALWAYS doing this and that and the other thing, it never changes, and you are sick of it. But really, if you step back and look at life and your situation with your parents, you realize: Wow. As far as the same old same old goes, there are things that are bothering you WAY more than your parents, and in fact, they help you deal with a lot of the other stuff happening in your life.
I myself am making a point not to misattribute my feelings when I can help it. Sometimes we don't even know we are doing it, but the only way to change it is to acknowledge the fact that we do it.
