1. You are more aware of what you don’t want than what you do.
You spend more of your time worrying, ruminating and focusing on what you hope doesn’t happen than you do imagining, strategizing and planning for what you do.
2. You spend more time trying to impress people who don’t like you than you spend with people who love you for who you are.
You are more focused on growing into the kind of person who evokes the envy of your supposed enemies rather than the kind of person who is beloved by their family and friends and prioritizes them no matter what.
3. You’re putting your head in the sand.
You don’t know basic facts about your life, like how much debt you have, or what other people in your field are being paid for similar work. When you get into an argument, you run away until you forget, rather than talking about what’s wrong and coming up with a solution. In other words, you are in denial, and so any hope of healing is futile.
