One day the penny dropped
that
people who call themselves perfectionist
are quite badly behaved
and for some reason
their demands and foot stamping and irrational requests
are tolerated
because
they’re a perfectionist
It’s just an excuse to behave badly
and like a child
making unreasonable requests and everybody’s life quite hard
Type A personality
same thing
We have to put up with more irrational footstamping
and ridiculous excuses for acting unreasonably
and trying to exact unreasonable standards on others simply because
I’m Type A that’s just how I am
There is no Type A
it’s just a made up word
used to describe and excuse character traits that are not attractive
These character traits come from insecurity not confidence
but we are taught to admire them
Then one day I realised I actually looked up to Type A people
Actually wanted to be like them
because I thought it would get me ahead
That’s so rubbish
It took me away from being myself
of developing for myself
of thinking for myself
All in order to become an unpleasant member of society
Well no more
The only measure of success is whether you want to be successful
in whatever way you want to be successful
That’s it
Don’t chase being Type A or a perfectionist
Just concentrate on being you
Type you
Type me
It’s the same with clothes
Why be jealous of someone wearing skinny jeans and a tank top
if you want to wear a dress
Decide what you want to wear
and wear it
If you don’t like what you’re wearing
change it
If you don’t know how
I’ll help
