I feel really upset when people waste my time. When I try to do something for them, have a question, and then they don’t get back to me. Because I take the time out of my day, my life, to do something for them, not me, and they leave me hanging, just waiting on them. That’s a small example, but it’s just something I get upset with a lot.
It’s not I feel that my time is gold and I’m the best ever, but I do feel like it’s worth something and shouldn’t be wasted for no reason.
Furthermore, I feel it’s disrespectful to me. As if, Do you not respect me so much, you think my time is worth nothing?
Having just written the last post, I feel a tension between caring about my time, being impatient, and being good willed.
Isn’t my time worth something? Shouldn’t people respect that and get back to me in a timely matter? I don’t feel it’s rude or necessarily impatient (within reason). I value my time. I have many things I need to do and want to do just for me.
Isn’t it right to put my interests first sometimes? To be honest about my desires? To want others to see that?
Maybe I could be better about managing my anger and impatience, but the theory, I think, is still sound.
