The one where I wonder where my hutzpah is...
Occasionally I find myself in situations, in which I have every intention of portraying the total confidence and secureness I feel in myself.....
when I come off sounding like an insecure teenager.
Why is that??
I'm an educated 40 year old woman, and pretty much know what I want (not that I'm always successful in getting it) and there are moments, thank heavens they're more rare, when I launch into a nervous giggle and hem-n-haw about something I want or need.
I HATE that.
HATE. it.
I didn't feel lame and insecure when I started, but by the time I walked away from the situation, I feel my mouth turn acrid with the need to throw up.... as I mentally shake my head and even wince at the replay of the conversation.
I wouldn't even take me seriously, even though I know what I meant.
I don't know how to combat such ridiculous scenarios... because by the time I realize I'm coming off insecure and lame... I'm walking away.
Meh.
