I only took Latin to be able to study some of the old physics manuscripts.

My guts were in a knot over something similar yesterday and guess what? Today I dealt with two difficult issues and both were not that big of a deal after all. Both had happy outcomes and I worried myself over nothing.

That is why I'm so disappointed... right as I was screwing up my confidence to have the talk, the other party left early for the day. Ugh. I hate being in limbo. </p> <p>Aida, just saw your ETA - maybe I should wear some UWP boots tomorrow for strength. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-ylf-give-me-the-strength-to-be-bold#post-671495 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 01:44:06 +0000 Abie 671495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get myself all riled up over these things, it has always worked out best for me to know what I need to say, and just do it asap, The anxiety of waiting for the right time, or over thinking eats me up. Go for it woman! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-ylf-give-me-the-strength-to-be-bold#post-671493 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 01:43:34 +0000 velvetychocolate 671493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no idea what this is about, but I can assure you that "the right time" somehow just never arrives. You create your own 'right moment' all by yourself. I guess what I'm saying is that conditions are never exactly comfortable, and it is your own courage and clear-seeing/thinking that create the ideal conditions for having Very Important Conversations. </p> <p>Also - if you're worried about someone else's reaction - the longer you wait to have the conversation, the more likely it is that you'll have a build up of emotion or angst about it all, and the chances of garbling the message or coming across as angry or upset, increases.</p> <p>In the meantime, no matter what the topic or how difficult it is - you can *always* remember to be extremely kind about it all. If you need to tell someone that you're bothered by something, or if you are about to possibly let someone down or let someone go, the best thing to do is to be extra caring about it all - being very clear, while also sort of stepping outside of yourself and imagining yourself as the recipient of said conversation.</p> <p>This will make things go a lot more smoothly. You can give the other person the benefit of the doubt while still making your point. </p> <p>Like I said - I have *no idea* what the nature of this conversation is, so I'm kind of guessing around here, but trying to offer up at least some 'pep-talk-ish' advice anyway. </p> <p>Good luck with the conversation. You can do it! If it's that important, you aren't doing anything wrong, and the sooner you get this over with, the better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-ylf-give-me-the-strength-to-be-bold#post-671488 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 01:31:47 +0000 Aida 671488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can do it! No sense in waiting for the right time, just jump in! Waiting for the right time doesn't make Very Important Conversations any easier, it's like a band-aid. No lashings here, just /cheers for Rae :D</p> <p>EDIT: And if sternness is what you're after: UWPs aren't wusses ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-ylf-give-me-the-strength-to-be-bold#post-671485 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 01:28:48 +0000 Mo 671485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a victim of my own worries and 'what ifs'. Once I just swallow the fear and face whatever it may be, I'm much better off. Chin up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-ylf-give-me-the-strength-to-be-bold#post-671478 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 01:25:04 +0000 rae 671478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so I'm mostly posting this because I know that, if I do, someone will eventually how things went, lol. </p> <p>I missed my chance to have a Very Important Conversation today, because I kept waiting for the "right moment" that never came. Tomorrow, I must get myself on the calendar and out with it all.... or I'll have to face the shame of coming back here to report a wuss-out.</p> <p>Pep talks, tongue lashings, and kicks in the pants welcome... </p>
