Welcome to the dark side

If we look up the word confusion we may find the following :-

• disorder resulting from a failure to behave predictably
• a mental state characterized by a lack of clear and orderly thought and behavior
• a feeling of embarrassment that leaves you confused
• an act causing a disorderly combination of elements with identities lost and distinctions blended
• a mistake that results from taking one thing to be another 

but above all it is just a human emotion that leads to a faulty action , eg. Wrongfully accusing people , being quick in passing judgment , and labeling people , this actions in turn show a negative side of a person’s personality , this type of confused people have what’s known as Type A personality , so just What is the type A personality, fundamentally?

Two personality types were developed by the psychological profession in order to define people’s behaviors. Each of these two types has a set of criteria by which those who belong to one type or the other are discovered. These types are type A, the strict and rigid, perfectionistic type and type B, the relaxed individual’s personality type. The type A personality is a very flat personality, very strict. Fundamentally this personality grows out of having had to earn acceptance rather than being bestowed with it unconditionally. This person as a child was probably given conditional love, had a role model who was raised on conditional love or both. There was a standard to be met and if it was met there was acceptance and reward; if the standard wasn’t met then there was neither reward nor acceptance.

Let’s look at type A people in more detail.

Type A folks have major issues around three key areas: time, money and dirt.

Type A’s and Issues surrounding time.

Type A people have limitless problems with time. Type A’s need to be on time, they need to avoid running out of time, they need to have a watch or clock handy so they can measure time, they invest time, measure the value of time spent and time left available. These folks have issues with deadlines, as they are restricting, yet they feel they must have them and they must be met. Time is a tool for measuring and a means of limiting, confining and defining. As such, time is important to someone who has always had to meet standards and deadlines for acceptance.

Issues with money.

Type A people have esteem issues, as they don’t base their value on solid ground but rather on meeting standards. As such, rather than by their inherent value as people, they value themselves and what they do by money. What’s it worth, what did it cost, how much do they earn, have and spend? They spend or give money as a way of showing love or affection. It is their empowerment and security. In relationships there is a medium of exchange and of acceptance with others and it is money.

Issues with dirt.

As the type A individual is perfectionist and of low self esteem they don’t want to have any association with dirt. Getting dirty makes them feel cheap and worthless. They need neat surroundings.

Remission.

Something like remission or over compensation can occur in which the type A personality may swing to the extreme opposite to cope. They may give away money to show they can, get dirty or do dirty jobs to confront their fears and may throw caution about time to the wind to set themselves free. Still you can see that they still are tied heavily to these issues.

Emotions.

Type A personalities may deny emotion or not know they have any. They may feel guilty for having or showing emotions as this would take them away from the source of real value for them which is to meet standards like a perfectly performing machine.

certainly this is the over all view of type A personality , some variations are present.

You can tell by people’s behave your , like jumping to conclusion , trying to shine desperately , trying to stand up and raise there voice in craving attention , not valuating what they say at the moment of anger. 

Remember , type A personality is not confined to a specific standard , people who are like that could very well be PhD professors , or doctors in the medical field as well.

So you have to ask your self , are you a type A personality statistic, and if you are what should you do about it , it’s not a shameful thing to realize one’s flaws and try to fix it , after all , to be faulty is just to be human.
