8-80 lifestyle is a way that some people use to conduct their lives. It’s characterized by difficulty in take attitudes with equity.
Either they study much, or don’t study, too rushed or too slow, too passive or too active. Their attitudes don't requite with situation. People like that never take an attitude but when they decide to do something, they do things in intensity above normal. They can react like one lion or like one lamb in same situation. I, for example, always accept other persons make jokes about me. When I decide to take action, I always hit it back intensity above normal and I am fighting with the other person.
I realized that I’m one of these persons when one friend suggested this name to my way to face the world. He began to talk about it and I agreed. I was obligated to agree that my main problems were result of this behavior all-or-nothing!
Because of this, I already fought awfully with my best friends, spent the night studying for exams that didn’t need much or I did go wrong in tests because I didn’t study anything. I usually have enough troubles because of this behavior.
The moment when I decided to try to change was when I was without to talk to a friend because an excessive attitude that I took. I realized that I needed to balance more my attitudes to suffer less with lack or excess of attitude. Sometimes I think that I need to stray from others to avoid suffer with lack or excess of attitude, but this would be an 8-80 behavior too. Learning to live with this trouble without taking precipitated decisions is one way to fight against this trouble. It’s necessary to let being fool and boring and willing to fight. Yes, I can!
I searched about it in Internet and I discovered that there is a psychological trouble called “borderline” whose diagnosis is seemed with what I said, but more intense. When I searched, I was scared but I think that is not my case, I hope.
I have thought about what I can do to avoid this behavior, but without success. At least I’m conscious about the trouble and aware with manifestations of this behavior. I’m right that I can control my feelings in way that I will not suffer their effects.
