@syfy86
You explain this so well.
I think being decisive requires a certain kind of confidence to be wrong. Not wanting to be wrong, but being ready to face consequences and act on it.

I'm going to steal this @CookieCrumbs

@syfy86
How about borrow?😁

@Soossie
Self analysis requires honesty with one’s self. By doing this, you are able to learn a lot from your own experiences and you always focus on improving your relationships/interactions with others.

@CookieCrumbs

Very true… it’s an ability that I’m grateful for…. 🌹

@akindheart
Do you always say what you think and feel? What would be the one reason you would ever hold back?

@CookieCrumbs no not in business. never in business until yesterday. it came pouring out i was so mad. My boss had to tell me to let the owner speak. you can not be emotional in what i do. but there is big money at stake and possibly their cancellation. i sure let my boss know how i was feeling though.

@alan20
Self delusion vs self analysis: how could you tell the difference?

@CookieCrumbs Difficult if not impossible. It's very arguable that total honesty is impossible when trying to dissect one's own soul or psyche. Consistency is completely impossible : I could find myself writing something here one day that on another day would completely disagree with, even to the point of reading an earlier post that I was amazed to discover I was the author of. I tend to wriggle out of it by thinking it was a fantasy, not something I'd ever want to do in reality. The bottom line is I really do believe in every individual's right to consent or dissent.

@JohnnyNoir
Positive persistence. You always believe you or your efforts could make a difference in the situation.

@CookieCrumbs I'm pretty stubborn, for better or worse, and it's made a difference

@Magenta
Does the ability to understand what others feel make you more forgiving or tolerant?

Don’t you feel that sometimes you don’t want to know ?

@CookieCrumbs It makes it easy to relate and be more compassionate. It's part of being empathic.

But yes, it can be a bit exhausting. You learn to tame it.

@CookieCrumbs

I think so, I'm just built that way. Or maybe it comes from the generation I grew up in. I come the Entrepreneurial Age, back in the 80s, when opportunities abound.

@calicuz
Not just opportunities, but a sense of wanting to accomplish something…

The younger generation enjoyed a different way of bumping into opportunities…. Easier, but more competitive in a way.

@CookieCrumbs

Yes, I know I can "get things done," so I want to show those skills.

@ChampagneOnIce
I was checking the list for your selections and was planning to reply to you last night. I thought I did. I didn’t. 🤭 I fell asleep. Now I’m trying to remember what I was about to type when that happened.

One thing about you is that you’re consistent — in how you think, how you behave, how you handle life. Your selection clearly matches how you represent yourself here on SW. 😊

@CookieCrumbs Thank you. I’m pretty straightforward, and I appreciate your compliment!

@TexChik
Doesn’t it overwhelm you sometimes to know and understand how others feel?

@CookieCrumbs it breaks my heart

@Starcrossed
Do you agree that 15 and 17 seem to go hand in hand?

Your willingness to analyze yourself can make you more understanding of others.

@CookieCrumbs yeah I'd say they're common in someone with a good grasp on having empathy / being empathic.

@PhilDeep
Consistency can mean reliability. And can inspire trust in the people you interact with.

@CookieCrumbs I think being trusted is one of my most comforting likes and being distrusted, if I ever am, just makes me question if they even know me and are worth bothering with.

@GJOFJ3
People skills + willingness to adapt to any situation. That’s a powerful combination.

@Degbeme
The one who was supposed to add that didn’t show up 🤭

@Coldplay
You believe in the good in others and the hope in most situations.

When was the last time your belief in others disappointed you?

@CookieCrumbs recently I stood up for someone and got them out of a huge jam. This person took the credit when it was my actions that saved them. Tells you a lot about integrity.

@Adogslife
3 is very important in order to be productive effectively. Also helps not to get overwhelmed.

@CookieCrumbs lol, yeah, I’m not easily overwhelmed. 😂

@HoeBag
I agree about winning battle-losing war. But sometimes, that’s ok and that’s enough. We fight the battles we can win.

Not giving a damn — yeah, it should be added. It’s a skill that some people have and others have trouble with.

@CookieCrumbs my big sister and I were joking about that once. You know how in job interviews sometimes they ask about your weaknesses? Of course you're supposed to say that you are a workaholic but my sister and I were saying the best response would be, I tend not to give a damn. Neither my sister nor I are the career driven types

@Jlhzfromep
Good combination. Your willingness to adapt helps you keep positive even in times of uncertainty and challenges.

@JesseInTX
The ability to persuade and express our thoughts in words/written form is a very useful skill. That can inspire others in good ways.

@lost213
I like that you chose 21.
The ability to do that does not come naturally, or easily, for others.

@Montanaman
This combination is so you.
You have that gift.

@CookieCrumbs twice in my career I was the guy who had to explain why something had to be shut down and then essentially fire those no longer needed. Whilst I can understand the facts and figures etc at the end of the process you're left as the one those dispensed with hating.

@OldBrit
Oh I can relate. I was too young (23 at that time) and too early in my career when I was included in the management team that was tasked to determine who would be let go after a merger and acquisition. It was an emotional process to make a decision about other people’s livelihood.

@CookieCrumbs yep for me I could disassociate the emotion at one point but then it hits you as you're actually saying farewells.

In 2003 I took a department from 136 to 35 in 6 weeks after a merger and decision to cut back in our country.

@Zonuss
It’s not about me 😁

What’s your pick?

@CookieCrumbs 1,9,13.

@iamonfire696
Thanks for asking. Mine would be 5, 10, and 7.
The combination of all 3 has taken me as far as where I am now.

It’s not so much a financial thing but a treasure of life experiences I wouldn’t have had, if I was different.

@CookieCrumbs I can see these about you from your posts and our interactions here.

@CookieCrumbs My high functioning anxiety would just never let me do that, so no.

@iamonfire696
5 and 12 are helpful especially if you are tasked with a lot of family and faced with life challenges.

It has taken you this far. It’s inspiring.

@CookieCrumbs I have been faced with many challenges and it’s really helped.
