Verywell / Julie Bang
His most recent book, “On Second Thought,” explores the subject of ambivalence.
But, second-guessing yourself and being on the fence isnt a sign of weakness.
Its a sign that youre normal.
You might only take your prescribed medication some of the time because you arent convinced you need it.
Or, you might keep drinking alcohol despite your intention to quit.
Those struggles dont mean youre weak.
They mean youre human.
Sometimes, we can do this on our own.
At other times, we may need a little help to get off the fence.
