Question:

[vraiblonde]

When you start thinking it's time to move on from something, how long do you give it before you actually walk away? Sleep on it? Give it a week? Walk right then and there?

Just curious....

I don't deal well with change. When I sign on for something, I like that thing to stay what I agreed to. When it morphs into something I'd have never even considered, I feel used and lied to. Sold a bill of goods. And I don't think very highly of the person who lied to me to reel me in.

So how long would you give it?

 

[my-thyme]

I'm not quick on my feet, so I have to think it to death first.

Which means I put up with s**t for WAY longer than I should.

If it causes angst more than once a month or so I am out. Exactly why I retired from the gov't. I couldn't stand the woke bs any longer. I am happier and much calmer.

Once I make up my mind on anything..... get out of my way. This has served me well my whole life.

Same

Also don't like change, and I'm typically an optimist. Hang out waiting, hoping things might change. Never does, and eventually some event forces me to make a change. After that, I always wonder why I waited so long.

I am an optimist too. But when I know, ... I know. No amount of wishing will change the facts.

A few decades or so.

Depends on the situation. @vraiblonde, you know mine. I don't want to yet and keep hoping for the best.

Depends on the situation.

Very much depends on the situation. Is it in my friendship life, work life, family life, driving down the road in the slow lane wondering if I should just pass the idiot in front of me? Some take longer to figure out than others. I will say that once my mind is made up it doesn't take me long to act on my decision.

I hold on to things like I’ve adopted a cat. I feel that I’ve taken on a responsibility and can never leave it except by death. The situation may make me miserable for years and decades, but it’s my cross to carry. God I hope you aren’t like me, have fun while you can.

Been there.

I would leave right now but the term of my indenture is not up yet.

[frequentflier]

I tend to overthink things and I try to not be wishy washy. But, once I've made my mind up to do something, it happens. Maybe not right away but I usually don't change my mind once I have a plan.

[Bird Dog]

I look in the mirror and try to tell myself what is the reason for hanging ion. Sort of like a sales pitch. I usually don't convince that person in the mirror, so I change.

 

[Bonehead]

Some very interesting responses in this thread.

Isn't a life term of indenture also known as slavery?

I'm the same. Always afraid I'm going to make the wrong decision (which I have).
