What about yourself drives you insane?

(I'm chatty today - forgive me)


I have this habit of putting off starting something because I'm not really sure how to do it or I haven't found the inspiration/vision for it yet b/c I want it to be perfect. So I procrastinate and start other things that things that really don't need to be done yet because I'm too hesitant to just jump into the project I should be doing in the first place
 
procrastination is a big problem for me,and I tend to do the same sort of thing....I'm trying to train myself to follow the philosophy that nothing will ever be perfect, ever. And if I need to start something, which is often the hardest part because projects can seem overwhelming, I start slow....I set out to do a minimal part of that project. More often than not, I just keep working and get a lot more done than I set out to do.


I have plenty of other qualities that I don't care for....but I digress
 
Ummmm what you said.

But other than that... just the mail.

Getting the mail has caused me tremendous distress for over 6 years now.

I tend to be obsessive to the point of neglecting other things that need to be taken care of..

I can be toooooooooo focused sometimes..
 
There's way too many, but I'll pick one for no special reason....


Se, even in my reply there's a sense of the problem....

I tend to researxch things way too much before buying or doing some kind of project and/or making a decision. I'll spend all day and night reading, researching about it. Pros and cons, etc... until I know all about it, and THEN I'll go forward with it. I would love to do the whole "Ignorance is bliss" thing, but I'm too cautious, I guess.

Plus, I curse my funniness. If I weren't so funny, I think I'd have more lovers.
 
I have an obsessive/addictive personality.

I will get on a subject and just run it into the ground ... even when it is hurting me. "Loose ends", "completion of items on a list" ... it just bugs me and I have to keep at it. And sometimes, the item never gets done!

That woman who f*cked me over is a "loose end" and it sometimes haunts me ... even when I am with someone else who is good to me and good for me. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

But for other people and their problems ... I can be completely logical and help them solve them quickly and effeciently.
 
I can get into one thing SO much, it takes over my life, and the next day, forget about it, bodybuilding has been the one thing I've stuck with.

Also my finger is fucked.

Stretch marks.

Too smart for my own good.
 
hmmmmmm...

1. I'm MESSY. Seriously a wreck.

2. I've lost my self confidence and drive in the last few years b/c of a series of tragedies/problems.

3. Because of this lack of self confidence I'm becoming a hermit and avoid doing anything social or even outside the house.

4. I'm sad lots lately. (maybe hormones)

5. I am the best at denial of my problems of anyone I've ever seen...lol.
 
Like a couple of others have said...I can get REALLY hyperfocused on something, whether it's work, working out, whatever. I will run myself to the ground to get something done once I start it, and I don't know the meaning of the phrase "half ass." For example, using the two areas given:

1) I am most definitely over training the hell out of myself right now. But I cannot bring myself to back off more than a small amount, and even that drives me nuts. I have to force myself to take days off.

2) A week ago I got started on a project at 8:00AM...and didn't stop till about 4:00PM, by which point my hands and wrists were practically useless from nonstop typing, I hadn't eaten anything, and I had a raging headache.

Another example is something I actually told someone here about the other day - Last thanksgiving I offered, the day before, to cook for some friends who, like me, couldn't go home. Well "cook" turned into a massive dinner with about six times more food than we could eat.

I really, really need to relax one of these days.
 
Well, I see that I have some company here....

Jerky, Kini (I feel that way about phones), Spy, GL, Lion, Angel

I do all that too.
I'm a research whore at heart...

I can deal with all that - it's what I posted first that really makes me crazy.

GRR!


I've cleaned out closets just to avoid do something else...
And we all know what happens when you pull everything out of closet.


***********************************************************

Heather,

i don't know what to say
come here, let me give you a hug

hormones will mess you up big time - try and remember that
(especially when you're happy and all of sudden you're bawling like you just found out you have 8 hours to live and have to spend them alone)

I've had my share of hormone/endo issues and it sucks (especially when the doctors trying to help you make you worse before you get better) - I feel for you and I've never even been preggers.

Holy Flurging Shnit - we were separated at birth!












Good news is - there is light at the end of the tunnel and you CAN get it together. I am living proof. (If that ain't dark humor I dont know what is!)

I do that too!

It's a terrible habit - blood sugar is all over the place.

My endo/dr & nurse read me the riot act about two weeks ago - they actually scared me a little so now I pack raw fruit and veggie snacks in baggies and leave them on my desk.
 
my love handles and saddlebags......the fact that I have to have organization.......and that I am very much impatient........when I want something, I want it NOW!! the last one casues me the most pain.
 
I have OCD when it comes to certain simple things like laundry, folding damn towels and how they are saved in the cabinet. OCD when it comes to being organized ... which i have issues with work and home.

I over think things way to much... ie... what if I do it this way, will it save time... save money, is this a better way... is this color good... will this be blah... or be blech...

I also really hate the fact that I multi task to much, I can't focus on one particular thing for a particular time before I'm off doing something else and then end up having tons of things on my plate at once ( I credit that to being a mom... homework, supper, laundry, cleaning, dishes, etc) (seriously, I have more than one time put the milk in the pantry and the bread in the fridge, I've saved dishes in the pantry, and food in the dish area... all because i try to do too many things at one time... ) <------- I hate that about myself... but i'll never change.

I had to laugh the other day when my son told me all I ever do is GO GO GO... and he and my daughter told me... mom, just sit down... the floor will be here tomorrow, so will the dishes and the laundry. Relax, sit with us on the reclyner and lets watch a movie. Sometimes that is what it takes to make me realize my day begins with work and ends with work and I neglect the finer things in life. I love those two munckins... wise beyond their years and such a pleasure to be around.
 
i never follow through with anything. i do something, get real good at it and then quit. well not everything... :qt: but it is kiling me. i think i just havent found what motivates me to continue. i mean i loved the navy, i was the go to guy in my rate as an Aviation Electrician but like i said when i get good at something i get bored real quick. like nothing else to learn. so i stop. breaking my ankle was my excuse in my head of why i got out on medical but truth be told i would have quit anyway. even at 12 years.

i procrastinate like you would not believe.
i hate where i am and i know damn well i could do better.

i need to find God real quick.
 
I drink too much and I'm overly critical of myself and others ; mostly others though lol.

Drives me crazy. No one can meet my standards.

Oh , and I always forget to shut the kitchen cabinet doors and I dont know why I do this? Drives me nuts.

Ou, you might want to look into fixing that.

Ever try meditating?
I know it sounds crazy but positive visualization can be helpful.

OMG... you too! also... pictures on the wall that are just a tad bit off level. If im walking by my boss or any other office and the picture is slightly non level, I have to HAVE TO walk in and fix it or it will drive me insane, even though I am not the one looking at it daily.

Not crazy at all...

I learned alot with meditation and visualization, with all aspects of my life... mine started with my MA training and visualizing my sparing or grappling, my katas and techniques... Positive energy brings positive effects, and same goes with negative energy. Believe me, I sometimes go off on a tangent and forget to put all this to work, but when I do... I know it helps my day to day life.

Oh there are so many, let's see:

1. Procrastination -- I'm actually supposed to be working right now.

2. Obsessiveness -- I cannot let shit go. The worst thing is that I will replay shit I have said and done and think of 1,000s of things that I would rather have said, or worse, replay things that make me cringe and keep wondering why did I open my big mouth. But this behavior is not limited to stupid actions and speech, I also obscess over all sorts of weird shit (like why won't my checkbook balance, shit like that).

3. I have a problem with moderation in any aspect of my life.

4. I start off gangbusters, then lose momentum and really stink at getting back to the job.

5. I'm a slob.

Yeah, I'm a fucking crazy neurotic bitch.

I have a mild case of OCD. I can't start the day without breaking out the vacuum to suck up the cat hair.

Weird because I could care less when on the road or visiting other people.

you bother me.


anyway, i'm terribly disorganized. not sloppy, just not organized. I try to at least keep things all together, like when the tax stuff comes in, i put it all in one empty drawer so i can just send it to the cpa, and somehow, stuff ends up in my purse, or at my office, or i lost it.
i try to do the same thing with christmas receipts, and the same thing happens.

and my memory sucks. it bothers me, a LOT, because i think it affects my intelligence when i can't remember facts.

I overthink things too. Things that shouldn't even count. While I'm walking towards the kitchen... Thinking ahead to save time... "Which arm should I open the microwave with to save time getting that plate in there? Get the milk out for the coffee or press the button first? PRESS THE BUTTON! and while it's running, get the milk out, fool!"

Stupid shit all day long like that. I DO save time throughout the day, but it's stressful on my brain. I am efficient.



I'd love to just relax. Relax.....

yeah i do that. but there are other things about myself which drive me even more nuts.

mostly the fact that I am really bad at keeping in contact with people and I dont "put myself out there" enough to do nice things for people because frankly I dont care enough. yes, Im self-absorbed.

hello lumberg :)
 
getting ready in the morning...it takes me forever to get out of the house. im worse than any of the women on EF. And yes, i probably have the same products as you do.
shit.
 
Pursuit for perfection!!!
I suffer if anyone knows I can't do soemthing, or that I actually Do get tired!
I don't like to wear sweats, I'd rather freeze to death and go to bed in that!!! I either sleep with a pretty ...ummm you get the idea..nighty...
I do not like to be seen like if I was not born as pretty as I am @ the moment...
i.e. It takes the same effort to wear soemthing nice than to wear something ugly!!!
So I am a perfectionist...I hate dirty dishes on sink...I can live without sweeping or moping floor, BUT it must look good!
 
I beat myself up constantly, never give myself credit for anything. Pretty self destructive, bald, short, permanent golf tan lines. Shit like that.
 
I think I’m deficient in my contributions to the less fortunate, in particularly the elderly.

I try to be a “nice guy” when I witness a situation that I can provide assistance, but I think I should be more proactive in providing assistance to both the handicapped and the elderly.

And, in my “belief system” I think I will be held accountable for this deficiency.

OMG i DO THE SAME THING. Plus I have to walk around all of the electrical sockets and say "Unplugged" outloud as I run my hand over them to ensure nothing is plugged in like a curling iron or watever. If I miss one I have to go back. I'm afraid I will catch the house on fire if I miss one socket and I dont want to be the girl who burnt her house down. lol.

Plus I have to check the stove and put my hand on each burner to make sure its not hot. I dont use the stove in the morning.

Then I have to walk around a gazillion times more to make sure nothing is plugged in and then set the alarm. Its awful . takes forever to leave the house. lol

This has to be by far the most irritating thing about myself.

I am filled with anxiety 24-7.
