Could you give me an examples of how the bends impact your life in good ways?
I thought my bends did good in the world, but then in the end the older I am the more I am seeing that even though it looked to be very good it was not as good on the deeper layers as I previously thought
- kinda like what we say about sometimes it is best to drop politeness and unleash some chaos cause it can be better and good on the underlayers even if it seems to not be good on the surface.
so, I'd like to see and am curious if your bends are of a different nature.
Hrm. I, uh, need to be deliberately vague regarding how my bends impact my life in a good way. I can get the point across by using a fictitious example tho I have a knack for being very skilled with understanding systems and people. It began from a natural curiosity and eventually evolved into skills I could use for a career. So..... I teach...... and teaching people how to be independent thinkers and moving pieces on a chess board around for ultimate benefit is something I have a lot of personal pride in (pride=ego, doesn't bother me tho). The bends I have, like being annoyingly focused and particular (easily annoyed when people do things differently than how I do them) works well because I notice all sorts of minor things that many people overlook. My particular bend of OCD is beneficial in certain environments where being highly detail oriented is desired. It also means, I often require a partner because I do tend to get lost in whatever I'm working on.... like, I need well-visit checks because sometimes I forget to eat or sleep when I'm working on something. It's helpful to what I'm working on, but sometimes not so helpful to my health. Yet, I like the way things are. It's because of my OCD that changes occur. I enjoy being useful, the puzzles fascinate me. So no, my bends are not necessarily healthy, but they make me feel good, like I have a purpose, and that is personally very meaningful to me.
