Very much so.\u00a0 <em>Very<\/em> much so.\u00a0 However, I&#8217;m also very &#8216;me&#8217; centric and I realize that when I let my temper get the better of me, it&#8217;s not the best thing for my career.\u00a0 ;o)\u00a0 I also can say it&#8217;s entirely &#8216;me&#8217; centric-my family pretty much drives my major, and even a lot of my minor, decisions-if I do something stupid that screws with my career, well&#8230; I help to provide for my kids through my career. So stupid crap affects them.\u00a0 Stupid crap affects my family. Stupid crap affects my marriage.\u00a0 There&#8217;s enough stupid crap that does this that I can&#8217;t control-the stuff that I can control?\u00a0 Yep, I&#8217;m controlling it.<\/p>\n<p>Thus&#8230; I don&#8217;t let myself get stupid, which means I have to tone down the stupid crap, which means&#8230;I have to watch my hot-tempered nature.\u00a0 What does this translate to?<\/p>\n<p>Online&#8230;well, weirdly enough, I&#8217;ve developed something of a diplomatic reputation and that really wasn&#8217;t all that hard-maybe it seems that way, but if you think about, there is almost always two sides (at least) to every story and I&#8217;m the nosy type who has always wanted to know all sides, and I just tend to make make myself consider all sides before I speak.\u00a0 Online, it&#8217;s easy, because I make myself <em>think<\/em> before I hit <em>send<\/em> or <em>enter<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Not as easy in person and this is why I often hang around on the sidelines.\u00a0 Not just because I expect to go around get ticked off, but that hot-headed nature also means I&#8217;m one of those people who very often will say whatever comes to mind&#8230;I&#8217;m one of those people you do <em>not<\/em> ask for an honest opinion unless you really want to hear it, because I don&#8217;t tend to sugarcoat things.\u00a0 Although I have learned tact and diplomacy even in public lately, because it just serves me better-yep, it is all about me, but frankly, I&#8217;m not one for making myself look like a complete and utter ass, soooo, well, I&#8217;m good with being all about me in this instance.\u00a0 I have gotten better about watching myself in public and lately I am more likely to talk, and&#8230;gasp&#8230;engage in conversation, but because I was more likely to stand on the sidelines, on hang in smaller groups, I figure this is where I got the rep for being shy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not.\u00a0 Really.\u00a0 I just know that sometimes my mouth can get me into trouble.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 So I make myself my own moderator&#8230; I don&#8217;t say things I don&#8217;t mean, and I&#8217;m pretty good about saying the things I do mean, even the dicier things-I&#8217;ve just learned <em>how<\/em> to say them.\u00a0 Because delivery can make all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep.
