Thebeatwithkey Presents – Breaking The Stereotype Challenge
The Amazing THEBEATWITHKEY has created a new challenge for the blogging community. I am honored to take a part in this. The goal of this challenge is to change the world by breaking all stereotypes. Just one person alone cannot do this because unfortunately, there are a countless amount. There are racial stereotypes, beauty stereotypes, body stereotypes, mental health stereotypes and many more. Since it would be really hard for one blogger to tackle all of them by their self, lets decide to make it a challenge. Team up with other bloggers to break these stereotypes. Link to the site that challenges you and challenge five new bloggers to join in. When responding to this challenge the rules are simple. Non- WordPress bloggers can also get in on this. The rules will be at the bottom.
My Response:
“Type A” people don’t have feelings
As a “type A” person, I am regularly offended by my co-workers and peers’ perception that I somehow don’t have feelings. I am very good at task-oriented, I am very good at tackling a to-do list with impressive efficiency! That makes me a go-to at work for things that need done quickly.
The truth is that I like to tackle tasks because it calms my anxiety…my very high anxiety! The hilarity is that people seem to think that because I use work to cope, that it means I am emotionless…I am far from it! I merely find being organized to be a way to keep myself from a mental breakdown.
What I would appreciate is if people would check in with me just as they would any other. There seems to be a belief that if someone isn’t an emotional basket case, then they MUST have it all together. The reality is that stereotypes don’t help in this realm! Some organized people are calm while others are anxious. Some disorganized people are emotionally chaotic while others are perfectly balanced. The only way to know, is to ask and allow yourself to get to know the person, not the behavior.

Thank you so much for taking a part of this challenge! It makes me so happy to know that other people want to make a difference and I really enjoyed your post. I totally agree that there is no “type” of person because we are all different.
This is right in line with my goal! I want to help others have better mental well-being which includes not falling into stereotypes and comparisons!
