Misdirected

Many times, this has happened:

  1. I have a cool idea to make a thing.
  2. I do not act on my idea.
  3. Later on, someone else has the same idea.
  4. They act on it. They make it happen.
  5. The thing is successful. The person who acted on it gets notoriety and/or money for it.

This is not a weird scenario. I’m sure it’s not unusual.

What’s weird is that when it happens to me, I get angry at the other person and not at myself.
