Another question I don’t like and don’t fully understand: “Do you encourage people to bring their worries to you for sympathy”? And that raises the question if I am answering these questions for someone else like ‘what do they mean with this and what answer would they expect’ or that I am just answering the question just by myself to know more about myself.
And the answer to the last is that I want to answer this question to ‘score well’ on, yes, who’s scoreboard?
So I am asking myself if it would be a positive or a negative (towards leadership, towards success) to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ which of course is completely out of the question. Or isn’t it?
Anyhow, I guess the real answer is that I don’t encourage people to bring their worries to me (for sympathy). At least that is what I think right now. But (some?) people do bring their worries to me, like my mam. And I don’t like it, as it just feels she is complaining (instead of helping me, being there for me).
And no, I don’t have much sympathy for people I guess. I do admire people when they are successful, but I merely pity people who are not successful.
So implicitly I pity myself as I don’t consider myself successful.
And all of this makes me think I may want to change something here like be more open to other peoples worries and such.
As I think that would be an improvement.
