Is knowing making it worse?

[Judge]

Honestly i can't do that. It feels like I'd be not trying by doing that.

It's not about not trying. You just make the most out of your known strengths and accept your known weaknesses. And to use your job status as a benchmark. Unless you're been threatened with termination, you're doing your job.

I'm not being threatened with termination or anything of the such. It seems like i'm a fairly good employee to both of my employers. Even if everyone involved is just professional with me, save the two year old. His dad is nice but his dad is nice to everyone. But really with how i was raised and with everything that's gone on, I can't think like that. The last time i listened to friends and gave myself a chance it blew up in my face so obviously thinking that way was wrong. Thinking the way i've always thought, the way i was raised to think, is right.

Do you consider yourself prone to "Type A" behavior? Just wondering. My father was a Type A. It killed him. I had to learn to abandon such a thought process to save my own life. One can still maintain a good work ethic and not be a "Type A".

No, quite the contrary i'm a type B personality. Generally calm and patient. My mom's a type A personality though. I'm not ambitious or competitive or anything like that, quite the opposite really. I just never feel like i'm good enough and feel like i have to be good enough no matter what or I'm worthless and i'll lose everything. So....black and white thinking, yes, type A behavior, no.

That's good. I just hate to see people being so tough on themselves though. I used to be like that myself.

At times we may be overextended, but that never implies being worthless. Take care.

Yes. Kinda worse, now i know why my old grammar school teachers were against on me. Psychologic center done diagnosis too late (at age 17). Wish to be dead.

In a way things are better since I found out at age 44 that I am an aspie. Now I can look back at all the things that have happened that I didn't understand, like being fired from my first job. Now I am under less pressure to try to be something I am not. For years I taught sunday school and tried to be a church leader because I had an inflated view of myself. Now I have a better idea of my strengths and weaknesses and can adjust my life accordingly.
