Nosy Questions Game (7)

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

I love that color! It's one of the colors I wanted. (but I don't have a say that carries any weight in the decision making around here. So we got another forest green car. (I'm sick of Forest green cars. It's been almost 2 decades of forest green cars! ))

We have one. And the transmission went out yesterday. So, none that work.

Do you perform well, when someone is angry at you?

 

[Daffodilly]

It all depends on who it is that's angry with me.
My parents' anger/disappointment is usually a good motivator for me, I perform better because I feel badly and want to try to make things right again.

When a customer gets angry with me at the ski area, I sometimes start second guessing myself - so in that situation I don't perform well.


When someone is angry with you, how difficult is it for you not to get angry in return?

 

[FlatpickingJD]

I don't know that I get angry, but I will get frustrated, especially if the person's angry about something that was really out of my control.

What do you do when someone becomes angry with you?

 

[Daffodilly]

Fix things if I can, (by apologizing and trying to make things right).
There's one person in my life who stay angry for a while, so I just ask for her forgiveness and try to go on about my business. I can't control other people's emotions.

Do you hold a grudge?

 

[redrose26]

Not usually, I try to let it go, but it can take some time to do that, particularly if I think if I have been really hurt. I am very sensitive, which can make me think that people don't like me, but rather than hold a grudge, I usually get sad for a while and think about what I perceive they have done to me.

How do you take criticism at work or school?

 

[Daffodilly]

As long as it's not mean spirited I handle it pretty well. (Probably because I've had so much practice. )

When you criticize or correct someone do you try to proceed your comments with praise for what the person did right?

Most of the times I do but if i am in a hurry I cut to the chase....

Apologize, and then see if I can do something to make it up to him/her.

What kind of pieces do you enjoy writing?

 

[TexasBluebonnet]

Ireland

What kind of pieces do you enjoy writing?

Everything. But I really love poetry and I'm working on a book. The poetry is easy. I can "spit" one out fairly quickly, espeically if I have a good flow of ideas. The book is harder, because it's harder to control. In a plot there are elements you have to consider. Like for instance, it has to make sense, lol! But it's worth it. Hey, maybe someday I'll be like C.S. Lewis or something.

What's the last thing you think about before going to bed each night?

The last thing I do is pray, so usually my mind's on God and how I hope I'm serving him well.

Yes, that's one of my many failings.

[TexasBluebonnet]

That's very cool.



Yes, that's one of my many failings.

Do you read the same kinds of things you write, or does that interfere with your own creative process?

Yes and no. If I read it too much, it can make me crazed. So, just a couple times is okay. Any more than that and I begin to see flaws and want to re-write all of it.

Are you the tallest/shortest in your family?

 

[FlatpickingJD]

Tallest
