The Last Two Personalities

 

I understand the need for plans – especially when others are involved – but overall I am a spontaneous gal.  I don’t like to plan.  Plans don’t always go accordingly.  If things are done spontaneously, there is less disappointment on my end.

Scenarios:  planning Jaime’s birthday party around the unpredictable weather – or in the case of her “sweet sixteenth” the pandemic . . .

Activities and events have to be planned out and announced ahead of time to get a good turnout – one would hope.  My jeopardy game (here) was cancelled three years in a row before it finally came to pass 

You book your tickets in advance so that you have a guarantee.  You choose September believing it will be cooler.  Who knew there’d be a heatwave and fires that late in the year?  But you aren’t able to get a refund.  So now what?  There is no plan B.

 

According to Google An assertive person is more calm, confident, and laid-back, while a turbulent person is more anxious, self-conscious, and perfectionist.  I can see why one is 54 and the other 46.  So close.  

I am a lot more organized in a work setting than I am with my personal life.  If I have deadlines to reach I stay on task and endure until the job gets done.  There doesn’t seem to be a lot of spontaneity in the work situation.  

Perhaps that is why I don’t get excited about careers or goals.  Yes, I am ambitious to a degree, but in my personal life spontaneity just seems to work out better than the disappointments of having plans fall through.
