Guys .. I have a question. Is it normal to reject a tech lead position. Recently I joined in a team , no one has any clarity on requirements or anything. they have late night calls and extra responsibilities. As per my current situation, it will be a stress for me.

It's okay brother. Don't take something that you aren't mentally prepared for.

Its okay to move at your own pace. But be upfront about your feelings and thought to your manager, tell him/her you need time.

Maybe few months down the line you'll have clarity, confidence and courage to take up the challenge.

I completely agree with that and it will be a great decision to discuss it with your superior and talk to them about your problems and you need some time to understand the situation.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
