Only for those of you so afflicted: How do you combat being too eager?

Get a distraction. Television, a book, computer…

Take a d-e-e-p breath—THEN get all EAGER!!

I never had that problem. In fact, I make Ben Stein look like he’s on amphetamines.

Learning that no one cares about me or my relationship problems seems to have cured me of my eagerness.

I didn’t even know I had any relationship problems! Excuse me please while I go call my husband…

@M_M: lurve for just mentioning Ben Stein

Really? Ben Stein, Ben Stein, Ben Stein!!!

Patience. It’s a virtue.

Stop, Look, Listen before you Start.

I cant, the second I want to do something, it dosent matter where I am or if the circumstances are right I’ll just be impulsive and do it. (one time I really wanted to paint my dressers so right away I started and it was like 7 at night, not smart) although Im not sure Im answering the right qwuestion, I guess Im not really eager, im just IMPULSIVE.

whenever you feel yourself get too eager… think of a funny visual to distract yourself. something like a monkey in a tuxedo or anything monty python.

A monkey in a tuxedo would NOT work for ME!

Every birthday I have just adds one more nail in the coffin.

Marry someone who is always late and then have a child, everything slows down after that.

Suggestions? I am always a bit too eager, and it can get me in trouble.
