I just had one of my very common oh-so-clever epiphanies a while ago:
I’m a PC.
What I mean is, my personality resembles Windows. It’s clunky and not very modularized. And due to social phobia, I also resemble Windows in that every time something changes, I need to be validated.
Every time something in my life happens that evokes a change, I usually fervently look for reassurance that everything is still going to be stable.
This is especially true if you compare it to why Windows checks hardware changes. It tries to make sure the license key it’s running under is still on the same computer it started on. I need to be assured that I can still maintain the same level of comfort and calmness that I started with. Otherwise we both error out.
Now, if I resembled something like Linux, I’d be a lot better off. It’s modularized, very flexible, and doesn’t hiccup at every little change. However it’s also very finicky to set up, or it can be a lot of the time. It also makes me feel more like I’m in control, which is very important for ego-headed masterminds like me 
Actually, being in control is a big part of handling a fear. I may not know Linux internals like the back of my hand, but the option and help is there if I need it. I can change it. I can mod it. I can theme it. I can control it. Hell I can even compile it if I took the time to learn how and gather the tools.
I suppose I live between these two worlds. I’m like Windows in that I’m slow, clunky and inflexible, but resemble Linux in that I’m not usually perfectly functional out of the box. It takes a lot of tweaking to get me going/comfortable with something.
What I need to become is the opposite of both. I need Windows’ instant ubiquity, comfortable and compatible with many situations and people; and I need Linux’s composure and flexibility when something comes along to change my environment or my circumstances.
Why did I not mention Mac, you ask? Well, it’s just UNIX with a six-pack.
On second thought, maybe I should aim to be more like a Mac..hmm.
Yes I did just compare my personality to operating systems.
Good post, haha. Humorous and true. You know, if I win a Mac Book Pro I’ll see if you should be more like that
Thank you
I’d like to be a Mac; it’s the best of both worlds in terms of aesthetics and stability. But it does give off an air of arrogance..
Actually if you win, you should see if you can give it to me. Just a thought.
