They can become self-doubting and suspicious to the point of paralysis.\u00a0 At that point, they no longer trust their own instincts.<\/p>\n<p>What kicked the current drama off was Brett\u2019s indecisiveness.\u00a0 After much back and forth (will he or won\u2019t he), Brett finally retired after the 2007 football season.\u00a0 Except maybe not.\u00a0 The Packers\u2019 GM and Head Coach were ready to fly to Brett\u2019s hometown and meet with him, about playing the 2008 season, when Brett changed his mind again.\u00a0 No, he didn\u2019t want to talk.\u00a0 And then Brett decided yes he would play.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers\u2019 wanted a statement of loyal commitment before proceeding further.\u00a0 Brett refused to give such a statement.\u00a0 He seemed to think his loyalty was obvious and he was hurt by the Packers\u2019 disloyalty to him.\u00a0 He seemed to spiral into increasing distrust.<\/p>\n<p>In their darkest moments, these characters worry that they can\u2019t believe anyone or anything.\u00a0 They suspect everyone is lying to them and every situation is not what it seems.\u00a0 They constantly look for little clues to confirm their doubts, suspicions and anxieties.<\/p>\n<p>These characters continually test and probe when operating out of fear. They insist others constantly prove themselves.\u00a0 They try to read the secret meaning in, or second-guess every move, every action and every decision made by others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Power of Truth characters value loyalty and commitment very highly, but they can be very unsettled and indecisive.
