It's the way some people say they can't cook, they are no good with computers, they hate math, they can't sew. People who make those declarations are also saying, don't ask me to cook, fix the computer, solve for 'x' in this equation, or hem this dress.



Lil. I see it every week with customers. There are several goups of I am no good's. The first are too anxious at the moment. The second group don't see the logic or patterns. They only see the big scary monster. The thire group does not want to learn to improve like you said, so they don't get asked to work on the project. The forth group feels they have too much to do now and it should be someone elses job. They don't get paid enough to do something new.

Prior to college I had some of groups 1 and 2 mostly because I saw the elephant and not the thin slices of trunk on the serving platter when someone said "here, eat this." Babysteps and seeing the pattern helped me see college and other challanges doable tasks. I guess I was motivated to do group 3 and 4 because that was what I thought was the right thing to do.

The I an no good at X is a common saying for BB, just like other LDW's. I need to work out a plan to say to BB w/o being or acting agressive/hostile/pushy.
