The Consistently Inconsistent or “Trigger Words”

It’s no secret that I am a man who is big on communication in its varying styles and forms. I feel that people say so much more about themselves then what the actual words they say and type mean. In addition to that we are also creatures of habit who act in patterns if given enough of an opportunity.

So what happens to me is that I have people that always seem intrigued and show interest in things I do. So when I present the opportunity to act on the interest they flake. The follow up never happens and the no action takes place. This happens to me a lot and I’m only fortunate that he occurs online versus me wasting time and physical energy to met and converse with a person. I’ve learned to handle this is a few ways.

1)It allows me to know who to take serious.

2)In avoiding the “talkers” I’ve come to figure the “trigger words” for many people.

“Trigger Words” are words or sayings that a specific person says that represents their level of commitment to an action. (This can be positive or negative)

Yes, believe it or not many of us give away our true intentions in our speech. So it’s knowing that even though he/she said they would call back the odds and past history say its not going to happen so have a plan B. It’s the person you ask for help that replies affirmatively but you know that you better ask someone else as well as back up. It happens so much it’s actually funny now. Especially when I reveal my lack of faith in a person and it’s the classic. “Nooo that’s not true.”

It’s true…it’s damned true.
