Last week, I had to sit in my attorney's office and watch a short video about my upcoming deposition. People who don't know me very well often think I'm quite shy, but in reality I'm more reserved. I open up easily when I get to know people better and especially if they make it a point to approach me first in a friendly manner.
Now, I don't like confrontation. This is something I've learned about myself . While it seems quite simple in nature, with my abusive relationship I was constantly confronted. I was never able to just say "I don't like being approached this way".
I know that this deposition is going to be very confrontational. I'm sure it won't be in my face or gruesome, but since this is what is often depicted on television and in movies this is the picture that I have in my mind of what I have to look forward to.
I'm prepared for odd questions. I am prepared to take a deep breath before I say anything. I am prepared to provide minimal information and not provide information that wasn't asked for. This is going to be hard for me as I have a lot to say, but I know I won't have the opportunity to share "the whole truth" at this deposition.
I'm nervous too about what sort of questions they will be asking me. I'll work on picturing a nice beach scene in my mind, as they ask me questions. Hopefully that will keep my spirit relaxed so I can answer with confidence. Think it will work?
