When i find myself there, i usually take a step back, drop my effort level and mentally "catch my breath".  

Michael when then draw up a contract for 30 day's which would give Michael breathing room.

I have spoken to others who are neither Autistic, nor candidates for "crypt keeper" who feel the same way.I do not like people breathing down my neck when I am cooking.

They barely have time to breathe so are looking for something passive.They tend to like NNN single or multi NNN strip centers.They get excited about other asset classes for yield but then learn it is more hands on and they simply do not have time for that.These docs make well into the high six figures per year with their jobs so I think a doc making say 100k year etc. might view things differently and maybe have less demands on their time. 

If you just quit your job and have 3 car payments and two mortgages and $50 in the bank....don't hold your breathe.  

Then there are the ones that say, they love your home and how they can see themselves living their all their life, but under their breath really is saying, yea without ever paying you rent.  

If I say I want a certain price and then snicker under my breath knowing I'll take a lot less it makes things more time consuming & stressful for all and breaks down any kind of win-win relationship that could be possible. 

Took a deep breath and began again waking to my complex.

Other than that just take a deep breath and have plan A, B, and C ready.

Especially when you have to hold your breath until you can't see the cemetery anymore, amiright?
