Good and bad habits are a standard part of the human experience, learned over time. They can be as simple as saying 'please' and 'thank you' or as harmful as smoking or excessive drinking. These habits can be good, bad, or even evil in intent.

It is crucial to understand the underlying motives in giving advice and the self-awareness it demands. How much vested interest do you possess? Will you help someone who does not want your help, or will you feed your ego as a superior intellectual who knows better? Simply, advising others who did not request it is a nasty habit, laced with massive trouble building relationships. Unsolicited advice can be a minefield, often causing more harm than good. It's a cautionary tale, a reminder to consider others' boundaries. Superficial altruistic opinions are worth the value of a wet contract in a fishbowl.

Respect for others' boundaries is not just important, it's paramount. You can save your experience advising on circumstances when you have a financial interest. Your opinions are very much warranted if you can make money or gain financially. Otherwise, they are wasted breath, with the usual hostility from the receiving party. By respecting others' boundaries, you show that you value their autonomy and consider their needs. It's a mark of respect, a sign of consideration for others.

There are dozens of habits, both positive and negative. Nail biting, chewing on your sunglasses, procrastination, smoking, excessive drinking of alcohol, and television addiction are a few. Belittling remarks to others are another way to reinforce that you are superior in all aspects. Superiority and inferiority are the opposite sides of the same coin.

Showing your superiority is supreme in the world of 'fantacity', a term that refers to the imaginary world we create in our minds, where we are constantly right. In this 'fantacity', we believe others always need our advice, reinforcing our belief in our superiority. For instance, in 'fantacity', we might imagine that our advice is always sought after and appreciated, when in reality, it might not be the case. This 'fantacity' is a common human tendency, a mental space where we often find ourselves not mindful of our actions and their impact on others.
