Type A Behavior..

..me?

I read from my psychology textbook that, there is something called "Type A Behaviors; Behaviors that characterize people prone to coronary heart disease", and some of these are on the list
  • Thinking of or doing two things at once
  • Schedulling more and and more activites into less and less time
  • Failing to notice or be interested in the environment or things of beauty
  • Hurrying the speech of others
  • Becoming unduly irritated when forced to wait in line or when driving behind a car you think is moving too slowly
  • Gesticulating when you talk
  • Frequent knee jiggling or rapid tapping of your fingers
  • Explosive speech patterns or frequent use of obscenities
  • Making a fetish of always being on time
  • Having difficulty sitting and doing nothing
  • Playing nearly every game to win, even when playing with children
  • Measure your own and others' success in terms of numbers
  • Lip clicking, head nodding, fist clenching, table pounding, or sucking in of air when speaking
  • Becoming impatient while watching others do things you think you can do better or faster
  • Rapid blinking or tic-like eyebrow lifting

Horrors! After reading through this list, it kinds of make me feels uncomfortable, especially "Becoming impatient while watching..Frequent knee jiggling..Hurrying speech.."..and ESPECIALLY.."Making a fetish of always being on time".


I mean, I do have a fetish of being on time..FREQUENTLY..and yes, I hate it when people are late for their scheduled appointments..

My psycho lecturer warns us beforehand not to do self-diagnosis after reading the textbook..but what the hell, how can I not be worried?!..there is so much thing in the list that I could identify myself with!..

ok..fine..I do NOT fail to notice or be interested in things of beauty..I mean..hey dude..throw me a picture of this

and I would most probably stop and APPRECIATE the beauty of it!heh!

Jokes aside, I think I really have to start worrying about my behavior..Guess it's time for me to sit and chill huh..

*sigh*
