If I don't agree with something, I let people know, and it occasionally leads to tension. But I usually iron things out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To get along with me, don't increase my tension.
I try to avoid conflict. I don't want people to be unhappy.
I'm dealing with things as they come along, and I'm talking about it.
Ironing is comfort. It's control. I'm a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place.
I think secretly I've realized after my time on the planet that I have no control over what people feel about me or need from me, so I just have a more laid-back approach in my apologies.
You have to lead people gently toward what they already know is right.
I have to accept the fact that, no matter what I do, it's going to annoy someone.
It's really grinding to always play out of both sides of your mind and always be thinking what will offend people. Or what won't. But I'm strong enough to deal with that. I own that I'm freakish in my way.
I'm a very sympathetic person, but that doesn't always come across in my work because I'm too busy being mad at everything.
I don't find any kind of tension very productive, I find it destructive, actually.
