I’m not being zhuai. I simply believe with all my heart that I am the best person for the job; that no one else will be able to do the job to the standard that I can do it. And because I tend to perfectionism, I’ll do the job myself because I’m the only one I trust to handle it. I might complain because it gives me extra work to do that I could plausibly delegate out, but no one’s stepped up to the plate to offer their help in this area, so I’m alone in it anyway.

And I’m not being arrogant. I mean it when I say that the day I see proof that someone else can do the job better than I can, I’ll gladly give it up to that person. And I’m not saying that things will crumble and die without me. Of course they won’t. But it just won’t be as good as I can do it.

That’s all I’m saying.

It bites when simple confidence is misconstrued as arrogance.

I don’t know why it’s so difficult for you to understand me. Am I that unfathomable?
