If a person I'm speaking to seems ill-at-ease or intimidated, I will attempt to make him/her more comfortable (e.g. take a different posture, make my tone lighter, laugh, etc.). I avoid fights, expressing my opinion, or doing what I want for fear that I will upset others or lose their love/friendship. When I am feeling negative emotions, like anger or sadness, I try to ignore them as much as possible. When I mess up, I say self-deprecating things, such as "I am such a loser", "Stupid, stupid, stupid", or "I can't do anything right". I tend to overanalyze situations, finding problems that don't really exist.
