The only difference at work is that it’s not my personal life. I have no problem making decisions and resolving conflicts because that’s my job – it’s nothing personal.
Quote: for me, when I avoid conflict...boy does it seem to take me forever to actually come up with a plan...it's procrastination at it's best. I will over-think things, I will think of every possible scenario that could happen (or at least I used to do this) and what I realized one day in the middle of it all was that....I was thinking about solving the problems, but I wasn't really doing diddly squat about them.
GEL, that is an absolutely accurate description of me. I plan and think and think and plan. I come up with every possible twist on every possible scenario. But all I do is over-think, I don’t act. And the only reason, other than the fact that I’m a habitual conflict avoider and procrastinator, is just plain, simple fear. Fear of what, I don’t know, but fear just the same.
I may be slow getting there, but I’m getting to the point where I’m realizing that I have nothing to lose. I already have a M that makes me miserable. I already have the personal life of a doormat. I already stay at work too long just to avoid going home. Just how is it going to get worse?
