Half-baked.
I have been re-thinking a great many things lately and formulating opinions which I'm pretty certain will be unpopular with most people I know. Which, you know, is scary enough enough on its own, since I don't do conflict, but I don't feel as if I hold those opinions very firmly.
Here's the deal: As part of leadership training over the past couple of weeks, we took a personality assessment that returns to you your five top "strengths" from a list of 34. One of mine was deliberation. Basically this means I think a good long while about things, trying to take all the factors into consideration (my #1 strength is "input" - the collection of information, with or without a goal - so it all works out quite nicely). This makes me seem quite willy-nilly when confronted about certain opinions, since I know I'm not 100% convinced of it myself, and I simply don't have the ability to reject outright the counter-arguments you may offer.
So here we are, with me having come to certain thought processes which, while not quite sincerely held, I have thought enough about to form general conclusions that will probably solidify into convictions. And that's just an awkward thing to put out there, because what if I'm wrong or change my mind?
It's all very frustrating, you see.
