What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
I am a very private person, I tell what I don’t mind others knowing. But when I meet someone for the first time or when I work with someone I am not too keen on, don’t ask me personal questions.
How old are you?
Where do you live?
Are you married?
Why not? Are you too old? Don’t you want kids?
(Not at this very second, thank you very much.)
I step back worried that the next question might be, how much money do you have saved for retirement? I wonder if they moonlight as an investment consultant looking to drum up business.
If I feel comfortable, which I never do, I will volunteer the information.
Transparency is one thing but only on my terms. I allows feel the more people poke around my life is, the more they are gathering information that may come back to haunt me. Besides, I feel so exposed when speaking about myself.
Maybe I should be in therapy. Then again, maybe not. I will have to talk about my feelings. Yikes!!!!
I have trust issues.
