Sometimes I think I am too nice for my own good. I don't want to be the bad guy, so I let people walk all over me, and then I get depressed over that. I think being worried that people are intimidated by my size has gimped my personality into being a teddy bear who is everyone's friend but doesn't stand up even when he thinks he should.
Of course, I'm probably just blowing off steam right now. Sorry for annoying both my readers.
Avast ye scurvy dogs!
About Me
- David E. Galloway
- I am an eternal fence-sitter who is now finally making choices in life. My daily life is a corporate slaughterhouse of numbers, but not an insurmountable drudgery. I wish to one day own some land, grow some food, build some things with both my hands and my mind. To do this and to sing a little, pray a little, and spend many an hour smoking my pipe and sharing a glass with the people I love.

Balance, man; everything in balance. It -is- possible to be too nice (and sometimes, maybe, you are...), but I don't think being a complete jerk is all that it's cracked up to be either.
Never forget the therapeutic two word phrase burned into my mind by Billy Connolly in that documentary you guys showed me. Maybe you should allow yourself to say those words (and mean them) about once a week.
It does a body good...
You're not annoying me. What's a blog if not a personal space to vent/post emotional/mental ramblings? Please continue.
Maybe you are too nice... but at the same time, I love you just the way you are. :-) And so do the rest of your friends. It's just a matter of training yourself to actually have an assertive mindset... which sounds a whole hell of a lot easier to do than it actually is. Sigh.
Thanks, guys. I appreciate the good vibes and advice.
