For those of you who are more emotional than logical, how do you explain the way your mind works to those who are more rational minded? I get asked why I don't stand up for myself or why I just give up on things so easily. When I feel I am failing at something or someone loses respect for me, or that I have screwed up somehow, I tend to freeze, I panic, I berate myself and have the internal dialogue of being a loser, screw up, and failure, whether or not it's true. Like there was a situation today where I felt there were major oversights, however I didn't pursue it because I was too upset and worried at the time. It's easy to think of these things in hindsight, but not so much when you're stuck in the moment. So how do you explain this to other people, and how do you get better at expressing yourself?
