I want to be truthful, honest, and straightforward. It pays dividends because others know I have integrity and I am trustworthy. People recognize that they can count on me to get things done, to help and support, and to act with justice. While this is usually a virtue that I’m proud, sometimes it just drives me nuts. Do you know what it’s like to be always reliable? The others can count on, call, dump on, or whatever fits their need or imagine at the moment? It is exhausting and overwhelming. And I’m flat out tired. Instead of going to be the person I think I am going to put on clothes cynicism. This cynicism will not be pessimistic or scornful nature but one of joyous lightness. Cynicism a la fun!

There are many techniques that I have good at but a few that are uniquely special as playing with no intention of following through. With a little practice with, “You bet! Whatever you want!” or “All righty !! I take your lead and get this done,” I will sharpen shouting my skills with a smile and a back slap thrown in as I agree to do this, that and the other thing and then head out the door and buy ice cream as a treat for me. Knowing the requester foists always functions and tasks of the other without to lend a hand or take the lead, I could even order a double decker.

Another strategy I could perform the nod harmonious agreement. While not as sharp and shout and slap, it can be powerful as I share the confidence promise to complete the requirements asked me.

I believe that the last added touches are successful in sending a curling I jump right on request.

Be wary pressure jettisoned my way I may add weary of discontentment and distrustful sigh personal arsenal my expertise cynicism. A shrug of the shoulders, tap of the foot will increase the load on the ground and I characterize suspicion and angst. I believe that repeated sighing a little bit longer and a little louder each time will exacerbate the situation in my favor. I will also work to perfect eyebrow Pipe Onions my.

Cynicism can become my survival and just in time
