10 Satisfying Feelings Every 'Type
A' Person Will Understand
The perfect situations for
those who crave perfection.
"Type As"
experience a range of daily emotions that might seem negative to some: Their
overwound nature makes it hard for them to relax. They power through tasks with
urgency. They put constant pressure on themselves to perform the best.
In other words? They're
known for being a little high strung.
But the personality type
isn't all doom and gloom. In fact, there are multiple situations where being
Type A feels totally gratifying.
Below
are just a few satisfying feelings Type A folks can't get enough of.
1.
The sense of accomplishment after crossing items off a to-do list.
There is nothing more satisfying
than a completed task list. NOTHING. Experts note that Type A people thrive on a plan of
action; their to-do list
is just a tangible representation of that.
2. The relief that comes with a freshly-cleaned inbox.
Email anxiety is real. A
Type A individual's inbox is like the digital version of their to-do list. In
other words, if something is left unread, it's just another thing that needs to
get done.
3. The glee that comes after a compliment from their boss.
Type A individuals
are known for being
overachievers, especially when it
comes to their work. Acknowledgment of that work -- especially from a superior
-- is just icing on the cake.
4. The feeling of victory after winning Scrabble.
Type A people can be
incredibly competitive. This is mostly
attributed to their achievement-focused mindset, which could be considered a good or a bad
trait (but hey, who doesn't want to be on a winning team?).
5. The rare bliss that comes from breezing through a line.
Nothing is more
agonizing for Type A people than a long wait at the bank or the grocery store.
"[Type A's] are people
who want to get a lot of things done and get irritated if their goals or their
progress toward their goals is blocked," John Schaubroeck, a professor of psychology and management
at Michigan State University, previously told HuffPost.
6. The pride that arrives after successfully planning a surprise
party.
Type A folks are
planners and pleasers, because they work at tasks
efficiently and they tend to be highly conscientious. What better way to channel that energy than
into a well-coordinated party?
7. The comfort of arriving to your destination right on time.
Or, sometimes, even a
few minutes early. Type A people hate to feel like
they're wasting time -- and being late
definitely falls into that category.
8. The gratification of an immediate response after you've
sent a text.
Is there anything worse
than the dreaded typing bubble only to have it disappear? Answer: No.
9. The pleasure of an organized desk.
Bonus points if the
office supplies are color coordinated. Research shows a messy desk maylead to a creative
mind,but if their's is in a
state of disarray, their mind certainly won't be productive.
10. The nirvana that comes with actually relaxing on a
vacation.
Type A folks are
notorious for being easily overwhelmed and
obsessed with perfection (two
emotions that are neither easy or healthy). As a result, they may find it
difficult to unwind -- but when they do, it's an out-of-this-world, rare
experience.
Finally being able to
calm down the emotions that come with your personality? That's true satisfaction.
