Patterns

I'm deathly afraid of repeating old patterns that did not result in positive outcomes. So much so that I will avoid something completely logical if it falls into a category of a past pattern. What happens in the meantime is a bunch of random events that fall exactly into the same old pattern that I am fervently trying to avoid. Therefore, by focusing on not trying, I am doing the exact opposite. And I find myself in a dilemma.


I suppose I should offer some examples but I don't think I can fully formulate proper sentences regarding each at this point. Thus, further posts may be the answer. So, I shall ask a question instead.

What patterns are you afraid to repeat and why?
