OK here is one of mine. I have a really hard time telling my mom no. I have this intense fear that if I tell her I don't want to do something or I don't like something that she will not love me anymore. Its a huge ASSumption on my part that she will be furious with me if I don't go along with everything. I actually did something about this recently. H wants to go out of town for Thanksgiving. I have never missed Thanksgiving with my family. My first thought was mom will be furious and not speak to me. I sucked it up and told her. She was thrilled and said have a good time. She said she was relieved because now she can go out to dinner on Thanksgiving instead of making a huge meal. I almost gave up something I wanted because I was ASSuming I would make her upset.
The being boring comment also got to me. I am very quiet with everyone except a few people. H asked me once why and I replied why would anyone want to hear my boring stories. I ASSume no one is interested when I should ASSume I am fascinating and of course they want to hear me drone on.
