Challenged

How do you react, when challenged, do you get irate, or try to flip challenge?

Re: Challenged

I'm always terrified when challenged but usually end up surprising myself. I really need to have more confidence in myself.

Same here. The thought of it is worse than stepping up and doing it. Then I'm all like oooooh! that worked out well!

I would always react like that, but I'm finally learning and will sometimes now have the nerve to just say "Why"?

Re: Challenged

I haven't been challenged for years, yet I used to be really good at darts.

Re: Challenged

I usually just step up and try to meet the challenge whatever it is. But then life’s full of challenges isn’t it.

Re: Challenged

I'm not good with unexpected events or challenges....I'm good after the event thinking what I should have done

Re: Challenged

Once again it depends. Mostly just shrug and carry on with whatever I was doing. The exceptions are the police, customs officials and HMRC.

Re: Challenged

If its a life challenge then I'll probably go into a strop for a while but if it's a person challenging me then I tend to get irate.
