question: why is it so easy for people to just switch off?
it’s been postulated that maybe, just maybe, such persons were never quite switched on in the first place?
question: why is it so difficult for me to just switch off?
expert opinions favor the theory that i take certain people too seriously.
it’s like what my sister says: i’m ‘all or nothing’.
all or nothing. hm. interesting concept. but why? ugh. is there no balance? is there no in-between? is there no compromise?
it’s unfortunate that compromise, for me, holds negative connotations, especially when it comes to ideals.
i am a dreamer, which is just a fluffy way of saying “perfectionist”.
and even to a perfectionist, perfectionism holds negative connotations too, but is nevertheless synonymous to having ideals.
so i expect perfectionism and i never switch off – expecting, searching, striving for the perfect ideal.
oh good god.
when i do, i DO. hence when i do, i do perfectionism.
question: when the object of my perfectionism is a dead end, how do i start doing nothing as opposed to doing all? how do i stop taking it so seriously? how do i stop and just switch off?
For i.. all=50% ; nothing=50%
For not i.. all=33% ; nothing=33% ; compromise=33%
When it’s more like.. all=1% ; nothing=1% ; everything else=98%
Embrace the everything else.
