Practice what you preach.
You might end up referring to yourself. That's what you called projection.
Kwento mo yan. Malamang ikaw ang bida dyan.
As they always say, "action speaks louder than words." Before you self-proclaimed how great you are, look in the mirror and reflect on your actions. Make sure that your arrogance is not mistaken as confidence. You continue to keep your head high and not able to see what's happening on the ground. Keep your feet on the ground so you can know more and understand more what is really happening around you. The world doesn't revolve around you. That is being sensible.
Talking about how you love a person but contradictory to your action. Being helpful but always looking for something in return? Toxic Filipino traits like "utang na loob" won't give you the credit of being great. Ang taong tinulungan mo ang makakapagsabi kung tunay ka nga na kahanga hangang tao. Not to invalidate your "effort," but being able to offer your hand to those in need wholeheartedly will bounce back to you by people saying you are great. Not you saying all this and that. And that's what you called modesty.
Respect begets respect.
Ang respeto hindi hinihingi, kusang binibigay yan, kung marunong ka din rumespeto. Respect is not about having a diploma. It's about how you treat people regardless of status in life. Respect is not about money. It's about how you help people thru the things that you have without asking or expecting anything in return as you are being considerate of their situation. Don't use your so-called "pure" intention in helping people where, in fact, you are doing this because you want them to feel indebted to you so you can manipulate them. It's not help. It's gaslighting people.
We have different ways of showing our love and appreciation to others. I get that. Pero yung ipilit mo yung klase ng "pagmamahal" mo sa tao kahit nakakasakit na? Dun pa lang, nawala na yung respeto mo sa tao. You are obviously not sensible, and all you have is your pride, which ended you to gaslight people.
