If I get hurt, or am in pain, I grin and well - try to be tough. And yeah, I admit it irritates me when someone else is being a wimp, but I can be compassionate too. My motherly tendencies come out and I want to "help". I'm learning! ;-) I’m totally known for my “I’m okay” attitude with my husband. If I get hurt, or am in pain, I grin and well – try to be tough.

I can really relate to this. I have the same tendancy to be embarrassed by the weaknesses of those around me (including me). I'll admit it's mostly with my mother, who is getting older and it's getting harder and harder to take her places. Stupid pride. Get it out. <abbr><em>Karen’s last blog post..<a href="http://outloudinmyhead.blogspot.com/2009/07/maybe-if-i-write-about-it.html" rel="nofollow">Maybe if I write about it...</a></abbr></em> Wow.

In specific areas that I believe I'm "supposed to" be strong in. Like living in other cultures, for example. Since I've been places, and I studied missions, I am not the one who should have trouble settling in. And when I do have trouble, I get more upset at the fact I'm having trouble than at the trouble itself. But, I know it's been in different areas at different parts of my life. As a kid, I would be so frustrated if my sister could do something better than me. I was the oldest. I was supposed to be better at it :) <abbr><em>April’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Jasonrugglescom/~3/toMOAIR7jto/" rel="nofollow">Our Mae Sot Trip</a></abbr></em> Yes.
