We all make mistakes in life. Everyone is human. But, are you a perfectionist? Do you strive to make everything right? It can drive some crazy. Others have to much pride. Please share your thoughts. Are you a perfectionist? 😊

I am severely compulsive but even that does not make everything about me perfect. I comfort eat, I am growing out of my clothes and all my homework is not always complete. Hence, I am not a perfectionist.

Everybody is faulty, I guess. Eh?

I love my imperfections ...sometime I like to modify, experiment,grow n enjoy my imperfection ,I think when you are natural and let things happen..it will be perfect! otherwise if we try to do something extra...the perfection will loose!.

Being perfect is a myth...there is always scope for improvement...so I don't run after something that doesn't even exist...I take life easy...and even if there was something called perfect...I would be boring to be perfect ...we r not ekta kapoor's serial characters...they are perfect...either a perfect angel or a perfect b*tch😆...

I'm a perfectionist when it comes to not who I am, but what I do. If I am doing a task, I strive to achieve perfection in the sense of self-satisfaction. The end product does not have to perfect, I just have to be satisfied with it. When I'm not, I'm usually pissed off. I think the sad truth is that I'm just too obsessive and compulsive for my own good. Little, unnecessary things bother me. A lot.

I used to strive for perfection all the time and always got disappointed. But then I had a kid and my perspective changed. It made me realise that I can't do everything to a perfection but I can try my best.

LOL...I'm definately not a perfectionist..I always mess up things..the big reason that I cannot manage thing or you can say perform things perfectly is because of my laziness and lack of skills to manage time and the big reason is that I waste time in thinking rather than doing things till the time I think, the time of performing or responding is gone ( not all the time but it had happened to me many times when there is something important happening in my life and that becomes the awkward moment of my life and the moment of regretting that why the hell I didn't do this or that).

But yeah most of the people in the thought of gaining something big, speeds up their work so much that they do not get time to see back and check upon what all mistake they have done in past and so they almost mess up their life in the end. It doesn't happen with everyone but most of the people have been suffering with this.

It's being neither, wanting to be perfect and not make mistakes. We are humans we make mistakes and it's natural. However, if it becomes all-consuming and interfering, then it's a bad thing. Try and take an objective look to determine how far your perfectionism extends, and you'll be able to judge for yourself. Being a perfectionist is a art, only few can achieve.
