Do you know what you’re really like? Are you a happy person, are you positive or negative, do you see the glass half full or half empty? Stop – don’t answer that yet. You may not actually know the right answer.
I had depression, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder) and mild OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) from a fairly early age. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on how you look at things) none of the disorders were severe enough to get anyone’s attention when I was a child.
As I was growing up, I often heard from other people that I was a negative person. That was a pretty accurate assessment, as I had a negative, hopeless viewpoint most of the time. Since I viewed the possibility of success at most endeavors as a long shot, I was negative about trying anything that I felt I was likely to fail at, so I was very reluctant to try anything new.
