"For as long as I can remember, the classification of myself as Type A or a Type B has felt foreign to me. I have shirked a label not solely to surpass a social tag, but to demand reclassification into a category that felt more like mine."

I don't fit into either traditional label, but rather perhaps a third, middle category of "A.5" that encapsulates aspects of both Type A and Type B personalities.

Binary personality sorting is inherently limiting, and forces us to think of ourselves in definite terms when the reality is that we're too complex and individual to fit into any specific boxes.

"Recently, there’s been some rumbling caused by grown men on social media, who think that they could collectively take down a single gorilla. Not only is this troubling because it promotes violence, but the poor gorilla would be forced to interact with 100 men at once."

"I thought we were safe here at UC Davis, since those in higher education should surely understand that they don’t stand a chance against a 400-pound gorilla. Unfortunately, a cohort of male students has proved me wrong."

"The concept of the five love languages was developed by Gary Chapman more than 30 years ago. In 1992, he authored his popular book, “The Five Love Languages,” which proposed that everyone has one of five ways that they prefer to give and receive affection — gift giving, acts of service, physical touch, words of affirmation or quality time."

"We have all of these different modes of communication for a reason — we simply cannot convey the full range of ourselves, our thoughts and our emotions without any single one of them."

"Perhaps it’s true that some people gravitate towards certain methods more than others do, but we need them all."
