Freaking

A friend mentioned today my propensity to freak out.

It made me realize that I really don't like that about myself. The causes of these little outbursts are diverse, but usually originate with some mini-drama involving a client at work. It's interesting to me that this is his impression of me. Because really, he's one of the few people that I freak out to. I feel safe venting to him. Don't know why.

For the most part, no one else in my life, with the possible exception of my mother, is privy to these daily frustrations. I don't know why I put this poor guy through having to listen to me rant. He certainly has his own frustrations and challenges to deal with.

So, my challenge is to temper my response to daily challenges and leave my friend out of it. He doesn't need to know. Upon reflection, it's not very friendly to unload all of my burdens on him.

Anyway. Something to think about.
