These past few months have brought to light some things about myself. I like to think that I get along well with people, but that's not necessarily true. I've decided that I have some personality traits that make it hard for me to work well with others. My top 8 issues are:
1. I have an overdeveloped sense of loyalty and fairness. That means I know the world isn't fair, but I darn well expect you to do your best to try and make it so. It also means I will defend my friends till my dying breath.
2. I work hard and I expect those around me to as well. I do my job and I think others should too (Well, do thier job, not mine). I hate it when other people drop the ball or don't do things or just have no initiative.
3. I hate inefficiency and incompetency and I have little tolerance for it.
4. I need clear communication. I need to know what people expect of me and who I go to for information. When I know what I'm suppose to do, I'll get it done.
5. My way is generally the best way. Okay, maybe not, but its hard for me to agree that there is more than one way to get something done and other ways are equally as good as mine.
6. I know people think differently than me, but I cannot understand it. I know its true, but I don't get it. That's why reality shows fascinate me. WHY would someone choose to do something that I wouldn't? I really struggle with this one! I honestly just don't get it. I know its there, but I can't get myself to really see why someone would make different decisions than me.
7. I get stuck and I can't see the forrest for the trees. Somethimes I get caught up in the moment and forget that this too shall pass.
8. I hate to be wrong. And more so, I don't think I am, usually. Perhaps you should see #6 to explain that!

Can I get an Amen on that? Totally agree!
I totally understand that. We are probably similar on most things.
Don't be so hard on yourself! You totally rock! Everybody has struggles. I've really struggled with just trying to let go and not internalize everything (it's definitely an ongoing struggle). But I am just like you with most of your list. Maybe we could get a bunch of women together and go out to dinner sometime soon? Get our minds off crappy situations.
Okay, I needed to hear that you are not perfect....alright, I really knew that but I like to see everyone else through rose colored glasses. I hear you on those points. Why can't people just understand that my way is right and get on with it? That one really is a puzzle! Thanks for the uplift and enlightenment!
