Do you thrive in chaos or do you mostly need order?

Chaos.

Order.

[OneViewpoint]

Solidly in the chaos world. I get bored easily with predictable routines in jobs and in life. I love new things and situations where there is no roadmap or rules and you are forced to find solutions from scratch or fail. I love learning under time pressure. I love the excitement of uncertainty and risk. And I love putting in 100% to come out on top.

I can't just show up every day and do the same thing over and over again until I die.

Pretty. Much my whole life has been chaos , it somehow someway finds me no matter what , sometimes things will eventually become good for a short period of time , and then it comes right back and kicks me in the ass. I pray every day for consistent peace and happiness in my life but it seems that will never happen , I was felt a bad deck of cards when I came into this world

[midnightmoon05]

I can function in both. I prefer order. As I get older… I start to see some ocd on myself.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I can overcome chaos but I'd rather keep the situation in proper order.

[EzraIsShy76028]

Order. Chaos just gives me A LOT of anxiety.

I am kind of jealous though of people who can live in chaos and not get stressed out. Those who have super messy houses and super messy cars with stuff just thrown everywhere, making it difficult to walk around without stepping on anything, and yet they don't care... wish I could be that carefree. 😓

[Purpleronnie]

order is both natural and logical and makes sense in most areas of my life but could never be all or I’d happily dangle myself from a tiny rope. Chaos brings creativity and spontaneity requiring me to adapt in order to not only survive but conquer and thrive which I need to feel alive so 80/20 in favor of order would be my perfect split I imagine.. not that I have a choice

[Makeushiver]

I disagree with the statement "order is natural" perhaps you mean the human desire for order. The universe, however, is much more concerned with entropy which would be the maximum state of chaos

[Purpleronnie]

Well I’m happy you disagree ! , good for you. I was referring to natural order as in a those assumed within inherent scientific patterns such physics and biology as well as others found in the natural world. I wasn’t offering it up for debate or philosophical conversation but simply stating my opinion as it stands presently. You will likely disagree with a lot of what you read , especially on this site so if I were you id put my time and effort into reply to those where my opinion was asked for.

Thanks

When i have some element of control, i strive for order. I know how rare that is. So i have learned to go with the flow. Which is usually a far cry from chaos anyway. I avoid chaos.

[MisterWack]

Chaos when playing games with friends / hanging out

Order when I need to get my business done

[Caroline91]

@MisterWack Good answer!

[MisterWack]

@Caroline91 C isn’t just for Caroline , Chaos too

[Caroline91]

@MisterWack Oh dear... lol

[RavVid]

Mostly I try to create order out of the chaos created by others. Yin is chaos by the way. Yang is order.

[Arcadian222]

Being a manager, I can't avoid chaos. Order is seldom an occassion but much appreciated one. So many chaotic instances have taught to still thrive or just perform better than the others on relative basis and your sorted

[exitseven]

Order, I find that the older I get, the less I like chaos.

[DrPepper12]

Order. BUT I love novelty - the kind like mystery vacation or unusual foods & such.

[JohnnyB123321]

I like order but I need spontaneous chaos to keep me going. Throw life at me and I’ll enjoy figuring it out.

[whiskeyontherocks]

Some times I think I only perform well at work if there’s chaos not sure why but it seems to be a trend more and more

[najekim]

I like the unpredictability of chaos, and the spur-of-the-moments results that can follow. Can lead to some great adventures in your life.

[Babygirl_S]

I’m definitely not messy and love things to be very organised and proper.

[Ironco]

I like things in order.

But I also can keep my cool in all the chaos life throws at you.

[BLP11520]

Chaotic situations can stress people to their limits. Police Fire EMT people have to be able to cope everyday I am glad I am a salesman 👍

[Knightwatch27]

I'm a man of order. Order is natural, chaos is unnatural.

[Makeushiver]

Scientists have long since documented that the universe tends towards entropy, not order

[Knightwatch27]

@Makeushiver Nope. Order is natural.

[OneViewpoint]

@knightwatch27,

You got it backwards there Ace.

[Knightwatch27]

@OneViewpoint Nope, bub.

[OneViewpoint]

@knightwatch27,

Yeah you do. Just because you're too stupid to understand that does not make your personal reality objective reality. Entropy is the natural order of things as much as you need all your socks lined up in your drawer. You're looking at the universe through a pinhole and thinking what you see is all there is. The universe is random and probabilistic.

[Knightwatch27]

@OneViewpoint The universe is ordered as is nature in perfect tandem of harmony to make everything work together whether in our wheather system, eco system or in how the world of fauna operates all according to natural laws. Our very beings as humans with our biologies are just like it. This is not "my" view but the scientific view since centuries. Do not project your insecurities on me anarchist.

[OneViewpoint]

@knightwatch27,

Damn you dumb. Let me guess, you're another "Christian believer". You need things to be simple and unchanging. And ROFL, you're talking about insecurities! Boy are you in for a surprise. The universe destroys order. The "laws" you need to make sense of it all are not the entirety. They do not explain gravity. They do not explain the expansion of the universe. Nor do they explain the quantum realm at a femto scale. Therefore they describe an incomplete reality. But for you it's a complete reality because that's all you can see at the moment. And you need that to be an absolute truth, otherwise you shit your pants and start crying. Insecurities indeed weakling.

[Knightwatch27]

@OneViewpoint Pathetic response. We're done here.

[OneViewpoint]

@knightwatch27,

Yeah, over your head. Running away is probably your go to move in life. But thanks for playing. Loser.

[Anonymous]

Doesn't matter. I'm coming out on top either way.

[Anonymous]

Balance is the best. But I mostly prefer order.

[Shiprex]

I prefer order but recognise that I am able to adapt to and handle chaos without too much trouble AND enjoy it.

[douride2]

I prefer my life to be orderly.

[Fatal96]

I prefer order. I like to know what I'm doing.

[whereismyjohnny]

Need order 😅

[Charliefretz329]

Both but I prefer peace

[Flower7]

Order for sure.

[Sunrising]

I like everything going like clockwork.

[Paige90]

Order

[jimmy2]

It's very true , order not confusing
