Conflict Aversion is Such a Pain

I am extremely conflict-averse, probably partly because I can never imagine good things coming from conflict.  I don't tend to imagine I can persuade people of anything, or that I will gain anything from it.  Most of the conflicts I've experienced were ones I was either forced into or felt some kind of personal obligation involving them.  I know that's something I should work on.  But for me I think it's less a self-confidence issue and more a fear of failure.  It's not that I think I shouldn't defend my positions or myself, but that I don't know how to do that a lot of the time and I'm worried failing at that will be worse than not trying at all.  And I mean...sometimes that's true.  But sometimes it's not.

Writing Ch 41 of Cut Strings

I started writing for Cut Strings again recently.  Working on Chapter 41 right now.  It's been a while since I've done any writing!

About Me

My 'About Me' tag is one of my largest Dreamwidth tags from which we can deduce that I have an enormous ego.
