" What It’s Like to Be a One People have told me I can be overly critical and judgmental. I beat myself up when I make mistakes. I don’t feel comfortable when I try to relax. There is too much to be done. I don’t like it when people ignore or break the rules, like when the person in the fast lane at the grocery store has more items than allowed. Details are important to me. I often find that I’m comparing myself to others. If I say I’ll do it, I’ll do it. It is hard for me to let go of resentment. I think it is my responsibility to leave the world better than I found it. I have a lot of self-discipline. I try to be careful and thoughtful about how I spend money. It seems to me that things are either right or wrong. I spend a lot of time thinking about how I could be a better person. Forgiveness is hard for me. I notice immediately when things are wrong or out of place. I worry a lot. I am really disappointed when other people don’t do their part. I like routine and don’t readily embrace change. I do my best when working on a project, and I wish others would do the same, so I wouldn’t have to redo their work. I often feel like I try harder than others to do things correctly. "
