But if they try to tell me what to do, it's like there is this inner wall :)<br /><br />Your poor husband, tee hee. Maybe you need to get him to do the quiz, then read about rebels.

When I was in my early 20s, my boyfriend at the time knew I wanted to go back to school and also knew me....he encouraged me by telling me how hard it would be because he knew if he said I should do it, I wouldn't. LOL. <br /><br />I think I also have a secondary tendency toward obliger (but not even half as strong), and that it is something I grew into out of necessity as a wife and mom. As much as I do rebel, I also tend to do what's expected or asked or needed....eventually. And I do like to help people out.<br /><br />My daughter is also a rebel. Makes for some interesting dynamics in a household where my husband does not get it and refuses to believe that by telling or asking us to do something he's likely to get the opposite response.

LOL Ok then. In my mind naturally I felt it was for those who do continually ask questions and make comparisons, but apparently my need to know how to best do things isn't perfectionist driven it's questioner driven. How can I best achieve what I want without spending too much money, without losing my momentum, etc. are all questions I frequently ask. So there we are.

I've been following Rubin's discussions on the Four Tendencies before she even wrote the book so have had plenty of time to watch my Inner Rebel in action (not always a pretty sight). The words "should", "must" & "have to" are like sparks to gasoline to me & date right back to childhood. Family members have told me I was the most obstinate child they'd ever seen & would absolutely, flatly refuse to do anything I didn't want to do regardless of the punishment or outcome. (Apparently I'd hear the words "or else" whether they were said aloud or not & that would be the end of it.) I'm embarrassed to admit I've not changed a lot in 5 decades. I've become pretty skilled at working around my Rebel (it's not really the most helpful trait in the world) & Rubin's book is an excellent tool. More remarkable is how skilled my partner is at handling that side of me in a way that doesn't trigger me (which is odd, considering he's got quite a Rebel side to himself). He's read the book too :-) I highly recommend it!Susannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-62413861792948862282018-03-24T12:32:38.308+13:002018-03-24T12:32:38.308+13:00I'm sure you could never drive me nuts, Cather...I'm sure you could never drive me nuts, Catherine :)<br /><br />And yes, I'm looking forward to making my husband take the test so I can see what he is.
