Am I responsible for this?

I've never thought about myself being an angry person, or even an impatient person. But today I'm overwhelmed with a feeling of anger and impatience that is hard for me to even process. Perhaps I judge people too quickly and too much. I'm not always right about people. I have good instincts when it comes to people and whether they're good or honest or content, but sometimes I really can't trust myself. Sometimes they prove me completely wrong and then I'm totally lost. What do I even know about them at all? I ask myself. And who am I to say whether they should be different or not? But what if I care about them and I want to see them living a fulfilled life, but they're sabotaging their chances?

It's funny, because I don't usually feel responsible for other people's choices, but today, I feel a little bit responsible.
