Anyone Else Think like Me?

Question

I only strive to do my best when others tell me I can't do that or its impossible. When everyone is rooting for me I just dont feel like trying. Its only when everyone is against me can I give 155%.

My question is do you get more motivated when other people are betting against you.

Answer 1

i suppose the answer is yes its like your going to show them i can do this  your more focused on the job at hand

Answer 2

Good question. Everyone I know says I am the strongest woman they know. I had an abusive ex that destroyed my world and the world of my children. I never gave up. Some give me credit for being strong, but I maintain I never had a choice. I have to provide for them and make sure they have the opportunity to thrive. Some say other mother's would have given up. I say I had no choice. It is my duty to provide for my children. I think, like you, I am motivated by the ultimate responsibility of what is right. If you are motivated you will achieve. Period.

Answer 3

no because your obviously mentally impaired, there is no 155%

Answer 4

Absolutely... i think it's one's nature to compete

I notice when i'm on top of my game, i'm angry..

When i'm angry, i'm sharp and i'm pissed!

Answer 5

Yes. Its a rebel in me that feeds on the negative beliefs. I like proving them wrong. You know those judgmental, poofy, egomaniacs that think they know everything and have "enough"experience to tell you what you can and can't do. Them.  No one should presume to extend a limit to our capacity for our own inner selves because that is who we are.   If we choose to live by the boundaries dictated, predicted, drawn by others who are around us then we are all like crabs in a barrel. Allowing others to pull us down!

I am glad to see that you strive against others who wish to propose a limit on you!! Then you are a success as a person! Your drive is immanent! Its good that you feel that "oh yeah, you think so?" resilience, its the fiber of my own existence.

I noticed tho that my son I would give him his milk and say "no mess" and he would look at me and pick up the milk slowly and slowly pour it all over the table...I would just wonder if its because he wants to do opposite to what he is told like I do...

I was humored when he did it. I wanted to laugh but I did it in the kitchen, out of his sight. Oh he is 2years old and yes I did have a talk with him but it was good to see that already he is beginning to think.

Answer 6

No, I'm the other way, cheer me on.

Answer 7

yes because i want to prove them wrong and show them up.i wanta prove to them that even tho they say i cant that i really can and that they are wrong. its just normal.

Answer 8

No, that is negative energy.  I do my best when I root for myself.  I do it for me, not anyone else.

Answer 9

No, but I'm not the competitive type ether.

Answer 10

I wouldn't agree in that when people root for me I don't try, but I do perform better the odds are against me. Kinda like I perform better in a crunch. I think I purposefully procrastinate sometimes, because I know I'll always kick it into gear and getterdone :=)

Answer 11
