My obsessive nature
Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2012 10:41 pm
I have noticed my obsessive nature relates to perfection and cause and effect relationships that do not exist.
I am currently doing endless planning for a vacation and am still going back and forth between 3 tours. I'm sure all are good and I can only go on one of them but don't want to make the wrong decision. This is my perfection.
There is also my magical thinking aspect. When I was reviewing hotels, if I saw 99 good comments and 1 bad comment, I would shy away from the hotel. I ended up getting very high end hotels which is fine but did it more because of my obsessive nature than perhaps a real necessity. The thing is I would give myself a cause and effect relationship that does not exist if I chose a lesser hotel and even lose sleep over the fact that the negative comment may be something I experience.
Can someone please offer suggestions here.
Thanks in advance.
