Its not easy being Type A.The personality trait comes with a lot of quirks. While Type A eccentricities might come off as high strung, Type A individuals themselves prefer words like organized and accountable. With such different perspectives, it can be hard to find common ground. Want to understand the Type A in your life' Below are just a few things that make absolutely no sense to Type A individuals.1.Arriving at 9:35 for a 9:30 appointment. When you ask to meet a Type A person at 9:30, you better believe that they will arrive at 9:30 and not a moment later. Type A individuals are super sensitive to time because they dont want to feel like theyre wasting it. The notion of being behind schedule is a foreign one to them.2.Losing cheerfully. If youve ever muttered the words its only a game, get ready to receive some serious side eye. Type A folks can admittedly be a bit competitive, mostly because they feel the pressure to be the best possible version of themselves. It doesnt matter if its at work or in a round of cards.3. That whole go with the flow mentality.Easy going' Yeah, not in a Type A persons vocabulary. They get stressed easily,which may even keep them awake at night. In other words, its exceedingly difficult to have a laissez-faire attitude about anything.4.This sorry sight:WHY'5.Enjoying the journey.Type A individuals are extremely goal-oriented ' and no task or commitment is too small.[Type As] are certainly more occupied with achieving outcomes, John Schaubroeck, a professor of psychology and management at Michigan State University, previously told HuffPost. And given that theyre so occupied with achieving their goals, it makes sense that they would be more likely to do so.6. Leaving the office before everythings done.Everything is urgent to a Type A person and they appreciate it when others work with the same mindset. Why else do you think they live by a to-do list'7. Having a to-do list in your mind.Speaking of to-do lists, its unfathomable imagining working without one. Recalling every task from memory is a fantasy.8.Desks that look like this:Research shows messy desks yield to a more creative mind ' but Type As arent buying into it.Seriously, how can anything get done like this'9.Sitting still.Some bite their nails, others twirl their hair. Nervous habits, which can be a physical expression of stress, are common for people who are Type A, according to cardiologist and personality researcher Meyer Friedman.10.A closet without organizers. Each item belongs in a certain place. None of this toss it wherever nonsense.11. Free time.A long afternoon with nothing to do may sound like a dream to most people, but for a Type A person it screams unproductive. Relaxing is not only low on the priority list but it also doesnt feel like an accomplishment. (But, as research shows, unwinding incredibly necessary ' especially for someone who is so prone to stress.)12. Clearing your mind.Type As have a habit of ruminating over their thoughts, which could potentially be harmful to mental health. But their intentions are certainly good: Type A individuals are highly conscientious. So while all that worrying may seem like a waste, theyre doing it with the best goals in mind ' whether its over planning the perfect party or their project at work.13.
