Have you ever done exactly the opposite of what you had actually wanted to do because of fear or uncertainty?

I don’t separate out sides of myself. If I do something I regret later I apologize for it and don’t do it again. It drives me insane when people blame their bad behaviour on fears, lack of confidence or projection. I call them externalizers and they rarely have much personal responsibility.

That is totally the story of my entire life. (well, most of it)

Several times, yes.

All the time. I’m going to change that soon.

No. That is usually a guarantee of poor outcome and disappointment

Doing it now…

I am guilty of that.
