Are you a perfectionist ?

Question

Do you try too hard to be perfect or loose patience with other people because you want them to improve themselves ?

Answer 1

I do try too hard sometimes to make things perfect.

However, this has many downsides, because I often end up worrying about things if they're not exactly right.

There is a name for it: OCD-I don't think I have it though.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

YES! Sometimes I hate that about myself =/

Answer 3

Well I could honestly say a Big Yes,  but don't try to hard to be a perfect as I possible can, with me it seems to come more natural, then others, and I do try and change others for the better, (though don't lose Patience, just keep plugging away, until they seem to be making some progress), but some / most people just don't like to be so well organized, that just can't handle it, bringing order to their  chaos...

I don't think there's nothing wrong with being in a state of being near, to near Perfect, everything in it's place, a place for everything,  things being in a certain order / right order, just being ever so well organized...

Answer 4

I have finally resigned myself that I am not a perfectionist, nor will I ever be. I just try to be the best I can be. Humans make mistakes, it's a part of life and it's the only way you really learn.

Answer 5

im a perfectionist with things that i deeply care about.

Answer 6

most of the time the perfectionist is the one to mess it up first.

Answer 7

OH MY GOD YES.

I try to improve other people, if they don't improve themselves.

Answer 8

I try to be with many things, such as cooking.  By the way it's "lose" patience, not "loose".  I just want you to improve yourself!

Answer 9

Yes I have. I especially have it with English. I can rip up to as many as a 100 pieces of paper just to get the "perfect" poem, essay or review, yet I still wouldn't be satisfied. I do p**s people off next to me with my Perfectionist-orientated acts.
