I’m insufficiently “agenty” in the following situations:
-When my working memory gets too full, i.e. when I’m doing a clinical at the hospital and my mental “to-do” list gets too long, I stop caring whether I’ll get everything done, how I’ll get everything done, whether I know how to do everything I’m supposed to do, etc. I then become a little obedient puppy who follows people around waiting until they tell me to do things.
-Whenever my mental response to a situation is “are you serious?”, my actual response is likely to be less than enthusiastic.
-Feeling embarrassed because of someone else’s behaviour-similar to exasperation. I don’t know if this is a conditioned response to not getting along with fellow members of group projects, but whenever I’m watching someone else struggle because they’re unprepared, say/do something stupid, etc, my motivation to make an effort drops to zero.
