I am comfortable with who I am in any given situation; I never over- react to anything, lose control of what I'm doing, or become irrational; and I rarely let my feelings or emotions cause me to make a bad decision. I don't 'have' to be in control that much; however, I will not allow myself to be in a position/ situation that I cannot get out of. I have an intolerance for rudeness & arrogance. I do not respond well to ultimatums; that's the Irish in me. I'm quiet & reserved. Not easily intimidated, and not initially aggressive. My reluctance to initiate doesn't suggest that I'm not confident. . . I simply realize that I can, at times, appear to be too forward, giving the wrong impression as to who I am.
