You are starting to feel inclined to ask yourself some deep and difficult questions. It seems as if you need to justify your choices and convince yourself that you really know what you are doing. Other factors are also contributing to this need to re-evaluate. It's fine to double check your motives, but don't assume that a mood of uncertainty equates to clear proof you are heading in the wrong direction. You may not yet know why your instincts are saying what they're saying... but they're important nonetheless.Too often, instead of saying what you mean, you say what you think others need to hear. Whilst you can be candid, you are shy. So, for example, instead of saying, 'This situation makes me feel upset.' You may say, 'You fool, why have you done this?' And of course, no conversations are constructive when one - or both - participants are on the defensive. As you now acknowledge this trait in yourself, remember it exists in someone else, too. Barriers must be lowered if empathy levels are to be raised.
