Sometimes I wish my skills with my job would come home with me.
WORK: I am really great at communicating in an effective appropriate manner at work. I am able to express opinions and be assertive and make the situation a "win - win". I am not afraid of confrontation. Hardly ever get nervous in highly "tense" situations. I am not afraid of pushing back and making sure the appropriate things are said and happening. I stand up for what is correct and right.
PERSONAL LIFE: Complete and utter mess (at least that's how it feels). I am scared of any kind of confrontation. I have a hard time expressing my opinion and being assertive. Any type of communication where there is a hint of maybe it won't go well...I get so nervous! Sarcastic remarks often slip in...not good at all! I don't always stand up for what is correct and right...and that really bothers me.
Does anyone else feel like this sometimes? That they can do something in one area of their life, but not in others? Am I crazy?

oh I am totally a different person at work- when I worked that is-
I am usually always in a good mood at work, good worker, organized, on top of things-
At home I am messy, undecisive, cranky, and sometimes lazy...
I'd have to agree,I feel so put together when I'm at work. Even when things get crazy here I feel like I have some control. Where as when I' home I feel like I'm lost in complete chaos!!!
Really D'Nell? I think we all have a least a couple personalities. Next time your getting nervous of social confrontation here's some tips:
1. Do what your highschool teacher taught: "Picture everyone naked." (I don't recommend this one)
2. Pretend you're Princess Bruiser and smash them in the face. (Good ice breaker)
3. If your ever tongue tied...pretend to have a seizure.
4. Talk about all the different kinds of Root Beer your Dad drinks.
5. Just be yourself and you'll be fine.
I completely understand!By the way- I tagged you so go check out my blog!
I think we have many sides of ourselves that are required in the different situations we find. Work is a much more controlled environment. Jobs come and go. But your personal life is always there. There is a lot more freedom for choice within in your life than in a job. You answer to you and are responsible for the consequences (good or bad) for decisions. I know exactly how you feel. It'd be nice if I could take all the good from all sides of me and make one super self.
Totally kiddo! I am awesome at work and I must say really good at what I do. Fixing other peoples problems means I do not have to look at my own. Except now I kinda suck because I have been making out with my co-worker...I really suck right now in both areas...
