I’m in a good position to make some progress on this front, and I think I’ve made some already. When I saw the situation for what it is, my first thought was to leave, but now I know I have more to gain by standing up to it and growing from it. This is one of my greatest personal weaknesses, and that makes it a valuable use of my time and energy.
I guess one of the reasons this is such a big problem for me is that I don’t like drama, and I don’t like to give anyone a reason to think badly of me. But when drama comes to me, and I take it on the chin, that’s no better. Also, I don’t like to think badly of people, and it’s hard not to do that and at the same time to realize that they’re wrong and to confront them. It just doesn’t fit into nice little categories of how I should think, feel, act, or not. Ah, such is the nature of this pan-dimensional Venn-diagram we call life.
