I thought I make people quite comfortable. Most of the people who worked
with me commented that I was easy to get along with. I know we consider
both a person's ability and personality when we choose people to work
with.
Many people asked me to work with me. Because I know I am not an excellent
guy, I just noticed that my personality made them comfortable whenever
they asked me to work together.
Well, I found I became tougher and tougher as time goes. I don't know why
I am becoming like this. Even at work, I now can see that people do not
feel quite comfortable with me. I think part of the reason is that I speak
up more often than I used to. I realized that if I don't tell them about
what I think fair is, there are many cases that people, even my coworkers,
take advantage of my being soft. Ok, that is fine. I became assertive.
That is good.
I just recently realized that my roommates also feel I am tough. Ok, that
is putting it in a nice way. Some of them feel uncomfortable to me. I can
see they watch my eye from time to time when we are in the kitchen
together.
When I started to stay with my roommates, I declared that we keep our
quiet time very well. And I kind of was leader in deciding the apartment
rule. Did it make them to think that I am tough? Do I make them nervous?
I should try to be nice to them. We just want to live together happily.
That should be the main target. All the rules should be only the means to
that target, huh?
