Do you have an obsessive personality?

[Beachboy6294]

Not obsessive, how bout the saints and karma bookie, and trust me, the decision to throw down and engage in battle is passion and a bit of obsession, so I would have to say you got some, moreover, think how hard it was to stop going out, that's a little obsession... you got some bro... you do trust me.

I guess I have some but it's not hard for me to stop going out when I have a reason. I haven't been out in over 3 months now.

i understand that obsession is counter to balance and harmony but i believe there is a paradox in the equation.
historically, it is the passionate ( read obsessive ) people who make conversions. true change is brought about
by dissatisfaction. the fat and happy folk seem content to live in a low grade misery, while the truly fucked up
people are firmly faced with the proposition to change or to adopt a denial state and plod on to a miserable
end.

I do not have an obsessive/addictive personality. But I am very passionate and extremely driven once I have been challenged. I suppose my *positive* or *negative* behavior is defined or guided by the motivation ie what challenge I have set before myself?

 

[drsketch]

yes but I have control over myself.

I'm obsessive about achieving goals...

i'm driven and passionate too but obsession is a notch higher.

i've been obsessed with making money, porsches, sex, certain women, and
watches.

as a kid i was obsessed with certain rock bands, most women under 200 lb's,
coin collecting, martial arts and street fighting.

each decade has brought with it another obsession or two.

me too and i have to say, in that respect, obsession has worked in my favor.
i have achieved many goals in the last 20 years. when i set my sights on
something...............it'll happen.

I'm the same way, but now its getting my grad stuff published. lol
I hear ya and agree, however I don't equate harmony with laziness or settling, but rather just present and focused. I think focus would be a key attribute found your philosophy that you have embodied with success.

and how ironic lol!!! i was diagnosed with MBD when i was 6. MBD ( minimal brain
dysfunction) was the previous generations term for what is now called ADHD.
attention deficit is really a misnomer. peeps with ADD\ADHD are hyper-focused,
unfortunately it is usually on the wrong thing lol. i've learned to make my ADD
work for me. i still don't do detail work but i have several people on the payroll
who are very detail oriented.

i have no use for lazy people or for people who "settle."

My best friend's daughter is ADHD and she is a very smart terror. She's much better as a teen as opposed to when she was six...imagine that! I love to sit with her and engage her in circular arguments. She just needs her "talent" focused properly.
