Collective Sensitivity

Reflecting on past articles with an undertone of reevaluating plans or changing direction because of factual circumstances some might think it is a test to discover if people will give up. This is not a test. This is a factual part of life. Sometimes people need permission to give up when creating a better future and acknowledge experience is valuable to empower individuals.

Extroverts and everyone have varying levels of comfort when interacting with people. How they interact in a team is determined by sensitivity, feeling, and intuition. I remember working at an office. Several women gathered for break and lunch. As a group we chose adjacent cubicles to make work less boring. One woman was offended when I would just go to the bathroom. The premise of having to tell someone they are going to the bathroom is still confusing to me.

It perplexes me when group validation is integral to their life. Yet, thinking about the situation it makes sense to have additional support if plans have shortcomings. As an intuitive person I understand it is important. Often people utilize feelings, without logic, to determine if they will or will not be comfortable continuing on a career path. This is fine, yet they already have a system to function beyond a team. Other people are sensitive to the needs of the group and need to know actions are okay with the group.

There is no trick in validating a person's concerns about opening a business or making large investments. It is not a method to mock or create loyalty through embarrassment. It is allowing a person to evaluate and realize they need a better plan; they want to pursue a different business plan, or they no longer wish to open their own business.

It is true that a person feeling in complete control of a situation would remain confident and disregard the thought of taking a break or reevaluating what they really want to do with their life; however, it is their life. Personal decisions will impact the quality of life; therefore, they need to have the minimum control of selecting a vocation.

I have been intrigued by several business ideas. Time reveals it is not what was envisioned. It might be days, weeks or months before realizing it is not what I want. When realizing it was a learning experience before finding what I want, it is easy to quit and investigate new opportunities. Reviewing more options, there is a general idea of what I want though the connection is not always obvious to other people. The next opportunity might seem completely different. What similarities do writing and singing share?

Perhaps people want to devise loyalty tests; however, the intent is to assist everyone in finding happiness even when happiness involves something completely different then what they are currently doing. Shame undoes the act of caring about people. It is okay to have concerns, take time to reevaluate plans or seek vocations that are complimentary to existing skills.
