That’s a good one. I think my categories are not the most succinct (but they work for me), and that would be partially covered by chillness, optimism, and bravery, but not entirely. I don’t know if I can observe the locus of control in coworkers especially well, but I’ll definitely be thinking about it on my next shift.
I think mine is external, but I also think there’s no point in doing anything if one thinks that, so I pretend it’s not. I don’t know if that makes sense, but it feels like: even if I can’t really make a difference in how things go, I have to try. If I don’t, it feels like surrendering to entropy, which is going to happen at some point (death), but I should at least put up a good fight first.
Internal vs external locus of control!
Thank you for the hyperfocus rant.
