[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 72402, member: 1572"] Hi Oroma, I actually relate to this weakness a lot. Overachiever syndrome is what I call it and I agree that the personal feelings of dissatisfaction that arise as a result of it can be very hard to deal with. However, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I don’t think you should use this example because unless you are very careful about how you phrase your answer and supporting example I do think it can come across as disingenuous (like the overused perfectionist example). The other issue I foresee here is a follow up question on how you then balance celebrating your small successes while still remaining motivated to achieve the more “unrealistic” goals as you say. I think this can be a tricky one to work around so personally I would recommend against using this example. [/QUOTE]
