Bad bad attitudes

What do you do when you have an attitude problem ? Do you say 'fuck it' or reflect and think about what might be some causes to it. Most people are unaware of their attitude problems because it is in the nature of humans to not accept the negativity about themselves. Nevertheless, reflection is a a way in which we accept our flaws and mistakes and try to turn tables. Now back to what i said regarding the symptoms of having an attitude. Firstly, it's self-denial. We never associate bad attitudes to ourselves but instead, we pinpoint and pick out others who we think have major attitudes. It is beyond us to actually realise that we are one of those who suffer from this terrible syndrome. So how do we combat this ? Any ideas ?
