i hate hypocrisy, so even if i later decide i don't want to do something, i still have to do it anyway if i said i would. i should watch my mouth. what the hell am i thinking? what am i saying? why am i saying at all? *disappears*

It is perfectly okay to change your mind, you know. And that's not hypocracy, that's just the fact that the nature of sentient intelligence is not to be static.

Hypocracy is claiming a view, opinion or belief while behaving in a manner that suggests you do not think that view or belief should apply to you. Choosing to embark on a course of action and then later deciding that course of action is not what is best for you is NORMAL. It is not hypocracy. It's called "being conscious". *smile*

Do what your heart urges, dear. Don't do something you no longer feel comfy with, just because at one point earlier you thought it seemed like a good idea.

Sounds like too many common social situations: Agreeing to attend something because somebody was pressing. Then because you said you would, no matter how nasty the mood or how much you don't want to do it, you still have to go because you said you would.

I learned the hard way to either be rude with a "no" (no matter how many "no"s it takes) or just to get deathly ill at inappropriate times. ;) What Tiernan said though, solid insight.

no, no, i volunteered, because i saw an opportunity to be useful and approved of, and then right away realized i probably couldn't do what was being asked for, and thought that probably i didn't want to anyway for several reasons, but if i just say "oh wait no, never mind, i didn't really mean that"...
