Making sure that I get what I need out of the time I spend with other people can be something that is tough for me. I tend to be one of those people who lets other people say what they want but doesn’t really voice their own opinion. I don’t know why. I know that that isn’t the way to be in a good interaction with a person you are dating but it could still happen. When I find myself in this situation I should probably be more intentional with my choices and speak up but I feel like that will just result in something I don’t want to deal with. However, I know this is something I need to improve at so I have been trying to find some method or something I can follow that will show me a way to do it that I feel good about.

Just looking online for things like this has brought about some decent results but I think that it’s the common pattern for much of what I do and that means it’s likely going to take some skill on my part in staying concentrated on this. I mean, it’s uncomplicated to just read about something however if you actually go to do it, that is entirely another story. Seriously. Consider all the people who get like self help books or whatever and say they are going to do things to make their lives better but they never do. I think that knowing what you have to do is the first part of deciding what to do but then actually putting forth the effort to do it is something entirely different. And that is where most people quit. So I don’t want to do that. But I would prefer to not just jump right into this and then not really get as far as I want, so I’m going to try and take it at a decent pace and eventually and consistently improve at the things I want to do. But like I said this is something that I want to do so I think that I’m going to have to see what information I can get about this. I know there are a few principles that tend to appear throughout this kind of topic but I think they are the things that I will have to figure out how to apply them to my own life.
