One of the most important skills in life is not only to be able distinguish between your own and everyone else's business, but also to know how to deal with them respectively.
The meaning of this is simple: If something does not affect me in any way, it is none of my business and I neither care nor do anything about it (Sounds reasonable enough but if everybody shared my views, the yellow press would be out of business tomorrow).
If something is indeed my business, I deal with it directly and on my own (this does not mean that I never ask for help, I just don't do it if I don't need it and I don't expect anybody to jump when I whistle).
I am sick of people who try to improve or run my life (of course without asking me before they take action) for example by going into my bedroom while I'm out and "cleaning" it (i.e. prying about and putting personal belongings to places where I will never find them again) and then act hurt and sulk when I get angry and ask them to mind their own business. Also, I won't tolerate people who don't tell me to my face whatever problem they have, but "accidentally" break things that are important to me and talk behind my back.
I am done with people who think I owe them respect for the sole reason of being older/having a more advanced university degree/*fill in better-than-thou justification* and rub this in my face as an argument every time I happen to disagree with them (ironically, disagreements of this sort usually result from me objecting to condescending or similarly contemptuous behaviour on their part). Basically, I value every human being (and even some animals) as a person, but if you want an extra helping of respect you better act like it (not commanding other people to worship you while behaving like a complete jerk would be a good start).
I know that I am responsible for my life as well as my actions, that means I do my best, apologise and try to set it right if I made a mistake. However, this does not mean that I brood over errors I made in the past and eternally cower before people I apologised to (Though many seem to expect it).
