Most times, when I am faced with a decision, I can easily separate the logical from the emotional unless I am faced with people I care about. When it comes to work, I try to be as detached as possible while still making myself useful because once I get attached, emotions get involved and as such, things can go awry without notice. I think one of my many flaws (the most obvious) is my ability to easily get emotions intertwined with what I do mostly because I make the mistake (no matter how many times I try not to) to let people get too close. I always pay for it later but I learn a thing or two from the various situations.
Moving forward, I have made many decisions from the heat of the moment. These actions would always lead to a disaster and I would learn to always take a step back when I felt at the height of my emotions from feeling too much. I tend to be naive but I am also very knowledgeable - well as knowledgeable as I want to be concerning a person or subject. In effect, it has to interest me for me to be involved. If it doesn’t then I don’t care. I brush it off. Maybe that is why when it piques my interest, I become impassioned and damn near undeterred from expressing how I feel.
Many times, in the heat of the moment, I have made many decisions that I have learned to label history because regret helps no one. I take them as lessons and work with them. Only on a few occasions has my outbursts from emotions done me well. Like towards family and friends - I get fierce and protective. I can’t help it. I’m also a very jealous person and I may not show it, or say it, but once I get a whiff of interest outside what we have, I let it (or whoever it is) go. I’m not good at sharing.
Hence, my emotions can be very pronounced towards things and people. Things and people that interest me. So, many times, I have hurt people I care about with my actions and brought wreckage to things or projects I really care about. Emotions are good, but they are double-edged swords.
