  • I have a coworker that had to talk to a colleague about something that they perceived as “difficult”. They worried about it for a month before finally scheduling it, and in the end, everything was fine. Our colleague took the “difficult” feedback very well, said they would make sure to work on it, encouraged further feedback, etc.

    All this time, I encouraged them to just get it over with. When they finally did, I shared Seneca’s quote that, “We suffer more in our imagination than in reality.” They suffered for a month over something that was trivial in the end.
