Someone made an observation about me yesterday. They joked about how long it took me to respond when the waitor asked me if I wanted a refill of Sprite. I have found myself doing this in lots of areas, not just the trivial things. People ask me if I can do something and I hesitate. Its come to the point where its almost ever question people ask me, I stop and evaluate it to give as true of an answer as I can.
Now, I'm not sure how great that is. People like someone who is decisive - who can make a decision on the spot and run with it. But now before I answer I evaluate how it will affect me, how it will affect others, and why the person is asking in the first place. I've always been a very introspective kind of person, and I hope I'm not delving into the world of craziness. The biggest problem I think is that when I am "stalling" to think, people think that I am reluctant to say yes. But I like to think that I am just taking the time to make sure I'm giving you an answer that I thought through well and that you can trust is true.
What do you think? Do you ever find yourself doing this? Any way that I can think about these questions without putting people off?

Interesting...
That is interesting. On the contrary, I feel like I am sometimes the opposite, and wish that I thought about my answers more. It is so easy to respond quickly, with out thinking, and than, after the fact thinking to yourself, I really didn't want another sprite! Haha, what a concept!
