Analyzing ... Update (5/9/2006 9:30:48 AM)
First, I'd like to thank the Academy for reading my blog. Second, I'd like to thank my wonderful fans who took the time to comment on my blog. Without you I wouldn't be here today! I got some excellent advice... And the winner goes to "secretly analyze behind closed doors" (for me this is probably the safest and I should look into starting this practice!) I was also given another view point... My special thanks goes out to that person for providing me another "side" of the situation. He suggested that some people may just feel like they need to have long detailed explanations.This could come from their childhood and having parents who interrogated them. It could be the way I pose the questions that make him feel defensive. I find myself making long detailed explanations at times as well. Like a simple question... "Why didn't you call me last night?" ME: "Um.. well... I was going to but I was busy, then I went to bed and read for a while and then I must have fallen asleep" BETTER: "I just didn't feel like it" . Or "I forgot" Why do some of us feel compelled to explain everything to such great detail? Why do we let others make us feel like we have to explain everything in great detail? So when I analyze my friend and he gets all defensive it might not be my question, or him trying to hide something. He could actually be having a flashback.... You remember them, right? Standing in front of mom trying to explain why you did what you did and trying to make it sound believable. Yeah, those flashbacks... So now thanks to the new insight I can stop (well maybe) analyzing my friend so much! Just wanted to say, even though the thunder and lightning storms that passed through my area today, knocked the power out at my house THANK YOU GOD for the rain. We needed it badly. This is the first rain my area of Florida has seen rain since the beginning of February. Now maybe my grass will turn GREEN instead of that nasty brown color!
