Lightbulb Being random?
Hi !
I have a major "flaw" in my life, its being random, or completely unpredictable.
I feel that my randomness is seriously holding me back from my goals and wantings.
So, I ask, how can I stop being random?
Being more aware of everything in my life? Taking more responsibility?
Being more organized ?

Sincerely, Hlynur

Can you give an example of how being unpredictable is holding you back? Otherwise nobody could even guess as to how to help you.

Do you consider yourself unreliable? Irresponsible?

Yes, an example would be helpful. Usually this "random" behavoir is the result of some other kind of emotional disturbance. Are you using random behavior to cover something up? I did...

Well I dont feel like I'm irresponsible, but in conversations for example I tend to be very fluctating, regarding opinions and views.
Theorotically like I dont see my ultimate goal in the conversations.

It's good to be able to able to see things from multiple points of view.

Is there anything that your multiple points of view have in common?
