There is one important lesson you need to learn: Nobody's perfect, and that includes you! You go through life expecting everything to work out the way you want it to, so you're constantly disappointed when it doesn't. What's more, your obsession with trivial details means that you find it harder than most to cope when things do go wrong. Try to accept that people make mistakes, learn how not to sweat the small stuff, and learn to take chances on new things and new types of people sometimes. You don't want to be a total Monica!
You manage to keep a sense of perspective most of the time, and your friends and family usually see you as level-headed and sensible. The downside of this is that you often become a 'listening ear' for everyone else's problems, and you may be taken for granted. On the rare occasions when you do lose control, you lose it big-time. This can come as a huge shock to your system and to those around you! Remember to take time for yourself, and do nice things for YOU as well as for your friends. Don't get stuck in a rut - ask yourself twice what you really want before making important decisions. And don't let guilt guide you.
So maybe you're not crashingly unconfident, but you're not your own biggest fan, either. You might have a touch of slacker in you, and just be too lazy to work on your outer and inner self. But while marching to the beat of your own drummer is great, being apathetic isn't going to get you anywhere. Showing passion for your interests and taking care of yourself are two ways you can feel happier every day! When you find something you can put your energy toward — besides sleeping or being negative — you'll find that life is that much more interesting, and you will be, too! So take a more active interest in school, a hobby, a job, or some other activity that inspires you, and you'll see your self-esteem soar.
Do your friends ever call you a flake? You're definitely not a control freak, which is good, but your life may seem a bit TOO out-of-control sometimes. You have a tendency to daydream and you may have been accused of flakiness before. It's great that you're so laid back, but don't space out on what makes you a good friend, like paying attention to what's going on in the lives of your friends, or showing up when you're supposed to meet someone. With just a little more attention paid to your surroundings, you can be "normally in control" person.
