Free test · Passivity
When a problem hits,
how do you stop?
There are four ways of stopping instead of solving — freezing, complying, spinning, erupting. TA calls them passive behaviors, driven by quiet self-discounts like "nothing I do will matter." It isn't laziness; it's a learned pattern.
Sound familiar?
- Two hours on your phone in front of the thing you need to do.
- "Sure, no problem" came out before you could feel that you minded.
- A mountain of worry — and your hands won't touch the actual task.
- You held it in and held it in, then blew up over something tiny.
All four are ways of stopping instead of solving — and your stopping has a type.
