Much too mellow
“You may be so worried
that everything has to be
right because you’re scared
others won’t like you if
you’re not perfect,” says
Stella Vlamis, a clinical
social worker in Brooklyn,
NY. Try bringing your
freak-out factor down a
couple of notches. For
instance, the next time you
feel as if you’re about to
turn a “no biggie” into an
“oh, gosh!,” relax. Soon
you’ll realize that even if
you do mess up, things have
a way of working
themselves out.
Your laid-back attitude keeps
you from taking life too
seriously. While you’re
clued in to what you should
focus your energies on- like
schoolwork, relationships or
a part-time job- you don’t
sweat the small stuff. Friends
enjoy hanging with you
because you don’t waste time
making yourself –– or anyone
else –– nuts.
You’re so easygoing that
nothing seems to bother
you. But your carefree style
could be mistaken for not
caring at all. According to
Vlamis, you may choose to
go with the flow rather than
risk rejection. Instead of
always letting things just
roll off your back, though,
get more involved with
what’s going on around
you. Once you offer an
opinion, you’ll find that
people will appreciate your
input.
