Why do you think that’s a “personality” issue? And why do you feel compelled to “fix” it yourself instead of seeing a therapist?

Personality type is kind of like God's OS that he gave you. You don't approach a problem in an Amiga the same way you would approach a problem in Mac OS 9.

I don't know any therapy that is appropriate for this. CBT is for depression and anxiety and I don't have THOSE problems.

Psychology is far more than just personality. And CBT is effective for many issues besides depression and anxiety. I’d still suggest speaking with a therapist.
