Fear of being predicted

Post Reply New Topic

Although this depends on the context (thoughts and emotions aren't logical in me), in some situations I fear being predicted. For example, almost everybody in my family knows I really loathe small kids screaming, and when I'm somewhere out with relatives in public and a small kid is starting, my relatives will immediately think ''oh no, she's going to start moaning now!'' - even when I actually haven't reacted for a few years now, people I'm with still look at me as if to expect it, and that makes me feel more awkward and I think I get embarrassed too, because of being in a situation where others know I'm not feeling comfortable. Even when I'm not reacting, they still sit there on edge thinking I might, and I just think, ''for Christ sake, I WILL react if you expect me to!''

Does anyone else have a fear of being predicted? Does prediction make you feel awkward?

I'm quite the opposite... rather unpredictable and can scare people with being unpredictable at times.
Other times though, I can be at times predictable but I wouldn't say it scares me... just annoys me in a sense that I can't react in a way that is deemed "normal".

I'm very predictable & I don't worry about being predictable but it frustrates me when people make negative predictions about me or when they go on about how I did something different. I like doing my own thing without others focusing & critiquing
