Traits of an Empath #23

23. Finds routine, rules or control, imprisoning: Anything that takes away their freedom is debilitating to an empath even poisoning.

This is not exactly true for me either.

I like routine, I like rules, and I like being in control (of myself).

My morning at work is always the same, turn on computer, get myself set up, find breakfast, clean my glasses, and check email.

I am a rule follower.  I try to find all of the loops but, I have to follow the rules.  I don't like to break them but, if I can find a loop, I'll use it to my advantage, if someone pushes me to.

And there's the food rules - must have cranberry on turkey, foods on the plate must not touch, eat all of one food before switching to another, do not drink the milk from cereal, I know there are more.

Control is an odd topic.  I like to be in control of myself, of my home, and the way things are done in my home.  I do like to have control in some situations that involve me - but, I do not want to be in control of anyone else.  I control me and my actions, you control you and your actions.  I don't have to choose where we go for lunch or the topic of conversation but, I'm not going to allow you to dictate to me what I should or should not do.

I am an extremely responsible person.  I don't see it as taking away my freedom.  It's simply work first and play when the work is done.

Speaking of - I'll be a little free-er when this exercise is done!
