In an earlier post I talked about the use of a reason to avoid feeling guilt.
In a way reasons are used pro-actively. Try to follow me here, even though I wobble a bit.
You all know the scenario:
- I wish I was a little more fit!
- You should start exercising.
- I know...
What the person actually is saying: I know that I should do that, but I will not.
Why? Well if you ask, he/she will have loads of reasons.
If you continue the discussion after the "I know..." you will likely either find the person gets silent or say something like "I got it!". Hey! Are we not back to the 4 ways of avoiding feeling guilt here? :-)
