Emotional:You are an emotional person. In some ways, we are all emotional; we feel joy, anger, sadness and fear; some of us more powerfully than others - and you more powerfully than most. Your emotions are closer to the surface, and your feelings more obvious to you than is the case with most people. You've got your life in a good place, your dominant mood is upbeat, and unless life has been particularly trying for you, you greatly enjoy the richness and intensity of life that being so open with your emotions brings you.Anger Management:You may have a friend like Katie KaBoom or Bob the Bomb-Thrower, people who just can't manage their way through a disagreement without blowing up emotionally and sometimes blowing up a friendship. Maybe you grew up in a family or with a friend like this. Because they cannot control their anger their anger controls them; at times it seems that anger controls their lives, defining who will or will not be their friend or their partner, who will or will not remain their colleague at work, who will or will not put up with one more meal or one more evening littered with the debris of their explosive anger.You've made the decision over and again: no matter how upset you get - and you do get upset - you will not revert to this kind of behavior. You've seen the damage, sometimes been part of it yourself perhaps, and you want no more of it. You know you're capable of angry expression; you can feel the rumble when someone crosses you, the heat rising when a discussion of differences slides into an argument. Maybe on occasion you've let your defenses down, shouted out "To hell with you' just like Katie or Bob would do, and then felt terrible in the aftermath. So you've learned: keep it under control so that your anger doesn't control you.Emotional Strength:Okay, so here's the situation. For months you've been part of a small group of friends who hang out together on weekends, sometimes have coffee or a quick drink after work during the week, and spent two different weekends away together during the past six months. And then you find out the rest of them are planning a weekend away and they haven't included you. When you ask, they're evasive; when they return, it's clear you've lost your place with them. You're not sure what happened, all you know is that you're no longer included.Panic? Or tough it out? Which is your response? Does the stress of it get you so upset that you miss work for a couple of days, or are you there on Monday morning, dazed and confused buy nonetheless functional? Here's the part that's tricky: sometimes you respond to situations like this as if you're as tough as nails; "to hell with them", you say, and you make your way through the coming weeks into a new and better social situation. But sometimes you're just a wreck when people let you down; you feel like you're flat on your back, can't catch your breath, and you lay there in your misery longer than seems healthy.Ease with others:You're a worrier. Not a serious worrier, so much so that your life is confined by fear. You go places and mix with different kinds of people and try out new venues and follow your friends even when there destination would not have been your first choice, or even your second. You go. But you worry a bit. Then when you arrive and settle in the worry subsides, you breathe more easily and relax into the experience and enjoy it as much as anyone. It just takes you a little time to unwind.It is most likely the case that you've always been like this. Each fall you wondered who would be in your class and whether they would like you and if you would get picked.... for whatever you wanted to get picked for. There may be a worrier in the generation above you: your mother or father or an aunt or grandfather. Regardless, there are plenty of life experiences that can reinforce this as well; friends betray us, or our family situation is an emotional mine-field, or some illness haunts a season of our lives. So we worry.Yep, deadly accurate. I won't post any more, because it's getting long--but these are very much right on.
