Being unpredictable - the predicament

I like being in control - knowing what is going to happen and when, this is essential. I hate living life by the minute. It's like I'm being strung along, waiting for something to happen at any time.

To others, the synonyms for predictable might be boring, boring and boring.  To me, I see stability, reassurance and safe.

Unpredictable can be seen as exciting, outside the square and living in the moment, but quite frankly, as the risk-averse being I am, I see it as out-of-hand, crazy and tiring.

Unpredictable people wear me out and while it's fun sometimes, outside the square is not where I want to be all the time.

(This reminds me of a time in my finance lecture. The lecturer had presented us with three stock portfolios and asked us which one we would pick to invest in. Because we made eye contact, he asked me to answer. I said 'none of them. I'd put my money in the bank'. Everyone thought I was making a joke and laughed, but in reality, that is what I would do.)

5 screams of joy:

But in saying that, I do enjoy the pleasant surprises that pop up in life. Some of them anyway :)
