my friend.. infinitely enlightening... So I'm in a bad situation with this roommate of mine, and I really have no desire to expand on that because the less thought I dedicate to her the better. But my friend she insists that I am being to passive and it is hurting me and the situation. Instead of really thinking about the situation (which I don't want to) I asked; "Do you think I'm very conflict avoidant?"From everything I have said so far about the situation, the answer is easy to guess.
As any good friend should be able to, she shrewdly revealed about myself what I would love to be blissfully blind to. I mean its glaring me in the face, but my goodness aren't humans good at deceiving themselves?!
Quick google of 'passive personality'; a lot of passive aggressive hits which isn't the issue (I think?) but I do get descriptions that passive personalities are negative, persisting in making themselves the victim. Another blog had a more positive(?) spin on passive personality putting it opposite active personality. That Psych. class I took as a freshman is too long ago now.
My response to all this; that I didn't think I was passive but I can see what my friend means and I probably am. I don't think this is going to contribute to my life in positive ways, so I want to know more about it and potentially see what I can do to modify my behavior. More research is needed.
I'm not on my own computer for once and for whatever reason looked up my lj account by google searching it and realized my sn of logophilet is one that I've used several places and those profiles all come up in a google search. So anyone I know that knows of other profiles I hold could potentially casually search my sn and find my blog, which I don't share with people I know. ... cause for caution? maybe.. That being said I come up in a google search~! therefore I am clearly someone. ;D
