In love
You may wait for permission to want something, and then want it all at once. You tend to do best with a partner who encourages you to ask.
At work
You tend to be a very good coach for people who are afraid to start. Once you've started something yourself a few times, your courage tends to feel earned.
What to watch
You can treat each small rejection as proof about who you are. Most of them are only about the person doing the rejecting.
