Ten Things I Hate About You...I Mean ME

Non Physical OF COURSE

1. I finish peoples sentences, I have been making a real effort to stop doing this....but I'm not always successful. It's not because I think I know it all, I think it's because I am just very impatient.

2. I bite my tongue, figuratively, constantly. I often do not say what I am thinking for fear of hurting someone's feelings. I am always editing what I really want to say. I'm not a push over I just seldom speak unless I am asked to directly.

3. I make life too easy on my kids. My kids have seldome had to walk any place, I have been a taxi service since they were born. I am also always giving them money for "fun" things. I always have their friends with me and I always pay for them. They have very little responsibility at home. I didn't have this sort of stuff when I was growing up. I'm afraid that I may be spoiling them and they won't be prepared for the REAL WORLD.

4. I seldom share my feelings. I am always listening to other peoples problems but never share my own.

5. I hate to drive in the city!!!! No explanation necessary.

6. I have a very superficial relationship with my dad. I live in fear of saying the wrong thing to him and loosing him forever. I was actually uncomfortable dancing with him at my own wedding.

7. I will avoid conflict at all cost. I hate to be in the middle of conflict, I always feel pressure to fix everything, therefor I am willing to "get over it" far too often.

8. I am uncomfortable in front of crowds. I hate to go out, especially if I have to walk into a busy room by myself, even when...or is it especially when, it's family.

9. My life revolves around my kids....and they won't be with me forever...waht then?

10. I'm afraid most of the time...of something.

I really want to work on these things.
