Personality: Why that doesn’t equal broken

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.

-Eleanor Roosevelt

I took a risk last night and brought up issues in a discussion.  Some might have called them minor, but  they’ve have been bothering me for a while. While it was the right move, the reaction stings.  I just have to look at the quote above and remind myeslf that it was the right move because the more I thought about the more agitated and worried I got.  The ruminating process is quite powerful and I would be a mess today if I had put off the discussion.

Personality is the way we react to the world given a preset dispostion.  Sometimes I take things too literally, or I’ll ignore important issues when someone is being serious because I don’t recognize it as demanding that level of attention. This is part of who I am.  Some of it I can learn to modify.

Just think about this:
