That is a tough thing to do but it is true. You are only bothered in others by that which drives you crazy about yourself. And of course no one wants to claim those traits in themselves. But if you can't face them you can't change them. So in a way being irritated is a blessing in disguise, if you choose to look at it that way. But first you have to get over the ego that says "I am better than that".
