Integrity is very important to me. My own personal integrity. It is something I strive for. I think it is something I feel a lot of anxiety about, too. I feel as though if other people don’t think I have integrity, then I don’t have much value.

So what is integrity to you?

To me… a quote comes to mind. It’s when what you do, and what you say you do, match most of the time.

Wikipedia says it “is the basing of one’s actions on an internally consistent framework of principles.”

I think it’s when you are consistent to yourself, and to others. So you don’t tell one person one thing, and tell someone else something that conflicts with what you just said. Being codependent, this is difficult for me. Why? Because my initial reaction is to agree with people. And sometimes I might agree with two different people who are saying two opposite things. Or I can agree with a criticism of someone that, in truth, I don’t agree with. Or I can accept food from someone when I don’t really want it.

If it’s purely basing one’s actions on an internal framework… well then, that doesn’t really have to make sense, does it? LOL. Because my logic might seem wonky to others, but makes perfect sense to me.

I think worrying about Integrity is my problem. If I just lived, and didn’t worry about it, I’d be better off.

On this day..
