It occurs to me that there are a million problems in people I know that I would like to fix, but why bring them to their attention when there are a million things I can fix about myself. Lets weigh the cost vs. benefits

i've ignored a lot of your flaws.
example: your dad is gay.

And I really apprieciate that. Most people after I tell them my dad is gay say, "i'm going to kill you"

P.S. not really

by telling you that you aren't doing this wouldn't that person be correcting you and telling you of your faults?
So wouldn't that be kind of counterintuitive?

And i think if you tell someone of there faults in the right way, as a friend wanting to help better your friend it can be good. As long as the other person wants to better themself they should appreciate someone telling them that something they do is not for the better. But it is a tricky line and you don't always know how the other person will react. And "better" is also a perspective in many cases, so what you think it for the better may not be what they think is for the better. So basically this is a touchy/ possibly confusing topic and it changes person to person whether or not you can talk to them about they're faults.

What I was going to add, after asking people to point out when I'm wrong, is to complement me first, since I too have pride, but I deleted it.

I think if you have to find fault, but only if you have to, I think you should compliment first. The "say it with honey" idea.

And your right, it does change person to person, but I can't always discern the exact way to act around someone. So I think I've chosen a basis.

It good to see that you really considered what I wrote, thank you

Al Capone also said, and I quote:
"You can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word."
