You’d rather hold a thing badly than hand it to someone who might hold it differently. It shows up as planning — three versions of an evening, none of them restful.
Rest gets scheduled for after the work is done, and the work is never quite done. You describe days as productive or wasted, rarely as good or bad.
You answer fine and then talk for twenty minutes. The gap between the first sentence and the fourth is usually where the thing is.
When it matters most you go quiet, and call it not wanting to make a fuss. The unreturned calls are the clearest version of it.
You manage other people’s disappointment in advance — cancelling before you can be cancelled on, softening a no until it stops being one.
You rehearse the bad version so it can’t arrive unannounced. The interview went well and you spent the evening finding reasons it hadn’t.
You can name the pattern faster than anyone. Lately the naming has been standing in for the thing itself.
