Isn't it wierd, there are lots of things that you know about yourself, but they don't become fully conscious until you start externalising things like this?
For example, I 'knew' that my motivation for doing a lot of things was to impress other people, but I wasn't fully conscious of it.
One of the main reasons that I wanted to work in television was so that I would appear more interesting when talking to people- girls especially. But, funnily enough, most people weren't impressed, they just thought i was full of myself.
It is a problem that i have. It's hard for me to feel good about my achievements unless I get lots of praise from other people. I know that is a disempowering characteristic and that I need to empower myself by feeling good myself about the things that I do.
It's also a very restrictive attribute. I live with my gran and my dad and there are plenty of times when I felt felt too anxious to go to work, but I couldn't phone in sick because they'd ask too many questions and harass me. In a way that has been a good thing though, because it has made me face my fears.
Ships in harbour are safe..but that's not what ships were built for.
