Conversely, individuals who run away or are frozen by challenges also have a distinct set of characteristics: They have a fixed mindset. They easily latch on to the victim mentality. They don’t think they need to change or that anything is wrong. They have an excuse for everything. They aren’t teachable. Resiliency and grit are foreign concepts. They give up or place blame when things don’t go their way. Fear is their master. They’re afraid of change and unwilling to make necessary adjustments.
