Has anybody told you that you are tensed?

I've been called intense which is different to holding tension. I find being intense a compliment. Do you have high expectations, want to do the best you can do, work fast, work hard - nothing wrong with these traits. Do you stress because you might miss deadlines, do you bash yourself because you think your work is not up to standard, but actually is?? - That's worth having a look at. Sometimes other people find it difficult to be around someone who is firey and intense. That's not your problem. If you get other people offside because of your moods then you'd need to be aware of your behaviour. Ask for feedback from a work colleague you trust. But make sure people don't put you down for being who you are.
