Reflecting...

As I get further into my service here, I am rediscovering things about myself that I haven't thought about in awhile. I am coming to face the fact that I am terrible at thinking on the spot when it comes to personal interactions with people. I often fumble my words or can't quite think of what it is I really want to say to people. I don't want to stop mid-conversation for thirty seconds while I wrack my brain for the right words, because then people would think that I'm even more of a weirdo than I really am. I wouldn't care so much about this particular personality trait except that it has always made my interactions with people who I am not close with quite awkward at times. At least for me. In addition, I am very much non-confrontational. I have never argued a point with anyone who wasn't an immediate family member or close friend. Maybe as I continue along this ever winding path called life, I will discover the ability whithin myself to overcome these obstacles.
