Intuition...
So, some people might dis-agree (those would be the people who think they know me), but in some ways I'm really intuitive. My fear of confrontation stems partially from this. When I'm talking to a person, from their body language, facial expression, tone of voice, and just any little thing they do, I can usually tell the kind of mood that they're in. So, I'll sense that whatever it was I just said really pissed them off. I hate it when people are mad at me, and so then I'll get this real anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach and it won't go away.
I guess in other words, I can read people pretty well. The unfortunate side of this, is that sometimes I tend to take it a bit out of proportion. Like, I'll sense a feeling from someone and manifest it into this huge thing, when in reality, they couldv'e been irritated with something else.
I dunno, I guess what I'm saying, is that it's so hard sometimes to talk yourself out of an idea thats giving you alot of anxiety. I wish I could just snap my fingers and I would be calm, relaxed, and not worrying about something that isn't even really there.

aw... Em, I know that you are sensitive about hurting other people's feelings, and that is a sweet thing about you...But it's true that you have to learn to not be afraid and just ASK the person, "What's really going on here? I sense that you are upset and I'm wondering if I could have done something to prevent it...."
