When I watch TV, I channel surf, often scanning through the available options even while attempting to watch one program.
When I am in the car listening to the radio, I often check other stations to see if something better is playing, even if I’m relatively satisfied with what I’m listening to.
I treat relationships like clothing: I expect to try a lot on before I get the perfect fit.
No matter how satisfied I am with my job, it’s only right for me to be on the lookout for better opportunities.
I often fantasize about living in ways that are quite different from my actual life.
I’m a big fan of lists that attempt to rank things (the best movies, the best singers, the best athletes, the best novels, etc.).
I often find it difficult to shop for a gift for a friend.
When shopping, I have a hard time finding clothing that I really love.
Renting videos is really difficult. I’m always struggling to pick the best one.
I find that writing is very difficult, even if it’s just writing a letter to a friend, because it’s so hard to word things just right. I often do several drafts of even simple things.
No matter what I do, I have the highest standards for myself.
I never settle for second best.
Whenever I’m faced with a choice, I try to imagine what all the other possibilities are, even ones that aren’t present at the moment
