Not an easy one this....
1st and foremost would probably be my "if I ignore it, it will go away" theory that has never once worked out but I continue to try.
2nd would be my lack of decision making skills. It has driven many an individual crazy (thinking of my girls!) A lot of times I do not want to be the one making the decision, because I do not want to be responsible for it going badly, but a lot of times I just do not care enough to choose. Like with food, this drives Kimberly most crazy, but some times you crave something specific, and other times anything would work so I do not want to choose. But either way this is a very bad habit of mine that should be fixed.
3rd is definitely the I'm sorry aspect that Chrissy talked about. I say I am sorry entirely too much every day. I am getting better, at least around here. I think I fall into the I'm sorry habit more in my family settings, familiar settings like my old job/employees etc. So maybe that means there is hope, if I can get used to not saying it with everyone, that would be a great thing
4th would be my lack of confidence. I do not feel confident in any area. Not confident enough to speak up, just in case I say something stupid. Not confident enough in my communication skills enough to talk to people. I have run into some really nice individuals here in TX, they just talk to you, me, shocking to me, but they do and I just laugh or agree, and do not add much to the conversation because I freeze. The conversations end because the other party can only do so much. I feel bad when they end because there are some that I would really really like to continue talking to. And the list goes on and on. I am sure you all know this.
5th my fear of new unknown things. I am so scared to do things. Or my panic after I commit.
When my sister was in ICU Kimberly offered to drive me down and I snuck out in the middle of the night so as not to inconvenience her, then panicked badly when I got there and had to find a place to stay and the car was acting up etc. and had to spend 2 days waiting for my parents to arrive and make decisions for me and for dad to take me to the car place to get it fixed.
6th...I really should not continue on, there are too many to list!
We are all very similar
