Honestly evaluate the way you respond to crisis situations. Are you happy with the way you react?

No for the most part. Sometimes I just take it and do not react much on the outside and it’s like ….well, I feel like giving up and lamenting my fate. In other crisis situations, at times I am surprised by how calm I am and at times I feel like I am about to have a nervous breakdown. It depends on the kind of situation I guess. Hospital cases, accidents, injuries – I would say that more recently I have become more calmer but overall I am not happy with the way I normally react and respond.

I guess we also fear as to how we will react in a crisis situation. Will we rise up to the occasion and face the challenges head on or will be cover in a trail of tears and stay in a corner sobbing like a baby. One never knows; the strongest & most confident of people might break down in a heap of lament in a crisis when it hits them and the quiet and insecure may actually be the ones that face the bull and grab it by the horns. I have seen it happen before and you can never guess precisely what will happen until the moment and the particular situation arrives. That’s just the way that life is. Surprises galore!

Do You Like Being Alone?

Sometimes, yes. I find that it is often better to be all alone than be in the company of people who you can’t stand to actually be around. Or be with people where you have to pretend to be someone else and can’t behave the way that you normally do. So sometimes, it is better to be alone.

Also, if I can’t be with the people that I want to be with, do I accept substitutes? It’s ok if those are new people and I don’t know them yet and hence it is only right to  give them a chance to show that they are good and nice to be around and we can be friends. That’s why I sometimes wish that I could find a job where I could either work from home or work in a small office with just a handful of people around or in a small office all alone. Without sacrificing the salary part ofcourse. That might be cool and only have to interact when I want to.

Most off days when I am not working, I prefer to be on my own as well. Unless I am meeting one or more of a small core group of friends or family. I dunno, that’s how I feel like since the last few years.
