Cookiegirl,
Thanks for the post! I can totally relate to your experience. Me too, I thought I was more of a IS B (tah) girl than a IS A (TAL) girl, but I was wrong.
Here’s my last post about it, if you’re interested
I’m using Bella’s quote here:
Wearing too much TAH can make you feel run over and it can make people feel as though they can run over you as well.
It is exactly how I felt when I was in my tournament. Submissive, insecure, and like people could “run over me” 
I think maybe some of us who are already TAH in our personality should go for TAL to counterbalance. Or maybe we are just more alpha than we think we are lol
