There are so many different personalities in the world, and it would be extremely boring if we all acted the same. “Every society and social group has values, experiences, and understandings that are widely shaped among members but may not be endorsed by those outside of the culture or group” (Wood, 2016, p.54).

Learning that I need to try to be less of a perfectionist and to be less judgmental of people is very significant to me. I believe I am off to the right start admitting this myself and by self-disclosing this
