My survival strategy

My survival strategy in life is to learn the rules, do things the “right” way, blend in, etc. I tend to stand on the fringes more, although once I feel comfortable I can be very social and fun. I put a lot of stock in being seen as competent and capable. I put a high value on efficiency and independence. I see those qualities as ones that inspire trust and lead to responsibility, which I like having. I am willing to rebel, and believe that a slight disdain or distrust for authority is healthy, and I’m not easily intimidated, but overall I’m a “by the book” type of person. With things I know how to do, I am fast and efficient, in new situations or circumstances, I want to go slowly.
