Rushing, Single-Mindedness

Even though I have for the most part explored and tried to correct my personality flaws over the last four years, I have still not addressed one that has plagued me throughout my life.  For some reason, I tend rush through things, even when people are speaking.  For example, they may be talking and my mind immediately fills in the blanks about what they are saying and I say okay.  There were several times that the person I'm talking to stops and stares at me.  I never realized how rude it was before until I thought about it.  I guess I need to address that.

On another note, I went to the accounting orientation today and it was pure nightmare fuel.  There were constant "networking" events throughout the whole 8 hours.  Absolutely tiring and demoralizing.  Being there reminds me of how much of an outsider I still am and most likely will be forever.  Still, it's not much of a bother to me.  I have to push forward.

Note to self:  Wait until someone finishes before doing something else.  Don't interrupt them.

  1. Networking events are a nightmare for introverts. Stay strong.
