Before I get started looking inward, I was considering: should one care what other people think? This topic has the potential to go all over the place, so I’ll try to be as concise as possible and I’m going to give the typical consultant answer: “It depends.” When You Shouldn’t Care My grandmother often says: “What will [...] I’ve been wanting to write some posts about my personality as I perceive it and maybe get some feedback on how others perceive it. I hoped to blog about some of my weaknesses (or development opportunities, if you will) in order to try and determine if some of my attitudes and/or behaviors are “normal” or [...] I attended a debate this evening (more on that later if I have time) and ran into one of my sisters’ friends. She was speaking to a guy when I walked up, so I politely waited. She saw me and said: “Hey Ian!
