Being Compulsive Is Not So Bad

When I was growing up, and even into my young adulthood, my compulsiveness sometimes earned me some derogatory comments from people who knew me.  But, compulsive I was.

And, compulsive I am.  I not quite a perfectionist, but I sure do hate making a mistake. I also try to think in terms of contingencies, and try to plan ahead for things. At work and at home.

And still, sometimes I face some derision.

Well, when I wrote about losing a file, and having created a back up without remembering that I did, that was my compulsiveness.

I should remember not apologize for my compulsiveness.  I am allowed to try to be compulsive and a perfectionist. But, I am allowed to make mistakes.  Is that a difficult life lesson for me to learn.
