Is anyone else like this? Where, nomatter how good you make things, and how good they appear to be, its just not good enough?

 

The idea from "Perfect life" thread of course.

 

I'm an absolute perfectionist on the things that actually matter to me. There's no way I could possibly ever please myself, its a bit of a shame. When I stand back, I feel like a talented and capable person, but I spend most of my time within myself and just feeling like Im not doing enough, and like I never will be able to satisfy myself.

 

I dont think I ever will.

thanks for voicing practically everything i would've said.

 

i feel that nothing i do is good enough, my marks aren't high enough, i'm not pretty enough, that i can always do better and i'm never satisfied with myself. maybe some of it's self esteem, but i really do nitpick at little things until they are the way i want them. sometimes i can be a bit of a control freak too... :\

yeah, i'm a perfectionist when it comes to stuff i really care about ...

but all in all i woludn't consider me as a perfectionist. ...

If I do something, I try to give my best, I try to do it perfect. So I think I'm a perfectionist... and I am mad when something goes wrong with things that matter to me.

I've been told that digital animators have a saying: "work is never finished, only abandoned"

 

I think it sums me up pretty well. I know afew hardcore perfectionists and they are scary- nothing from them or anyone else is good enough for them, and even when something they did was magnificent, they can't take compliments, they can only complain that it was a disaster because of some little thing no one noticed.

 

THAT certainly isn't me. But like the saying, I do have a perfectionist streak. Whenever I'm doing anything remotly creative or detail oriented, I have to do it perfectly. Every little brushstroke, every little turn of phrase. If I re-read something I wrote ten times, I will find ten better ways to write it.

 

But when I run out of time or get frustrated, I can live with what has come to be. I can only hope I've gotten it to a degree of ok-ness somewhere in the process of trying to make it perfect.

 

Add in being a world-class procrastinator, and you have a lifetime full of brilliant begginings with non-existant endings.

when it comes to clean up my room, yes :uhoh:

I am a perfectionist when it comes to school work... I am very hesitant about sending in papers I've finished, it's just never good enough, and sometimes it doesn't even get finished, and no matter how many times they tell me it's okay... it just isn't.

 

And that's why I could never be a song writer.

school work and violin. i'm never happy, to the point of being highly irritating to others... but it bothers me when others say "stop aiming so high, you should be happy with what you've got, i'd be so happy if i were to get what you were getting..."

that... shits me. :disappointed:

I want to learn how to play the violin :(

 

oh yes school work has to be perfect all the time :nice:

Yeah, that basically happens to me whenever I watch videos of Muse, then realise how much I suck at guitar....and piano....not bass so much, but Chris is still wicked sick.

i'll have my 'license' hahaha to teach next year, and i would teach you. :wacko:

but it's a bit difficult over the net, between australia and mexico :wacky:

awww :cry:

 

 

that sounds so nice :wacky:

Yep that all pretty much sums me up!

I am at first but after a while I get sick of trying and go with what I have. :P

 

I don't like that trait of mine.

when it comes to my grades and how clean my room is yeah. My friends tell me all the time that I'm a perfectionist and an overachiever.

Yeah, I always want more from myself. But I've never thought about it like about something special - I guess most of people are like that. I remember one person asked me what's my fave part of my body and I started thinking about hair, or maybe eyes? Or maybe arms? Hands? Ears? I was thinking even about nails but I couldn't say which part because all of them seemed not good enough to call them fave. I mean, ears are too big or hands are too thin and all. Haha what am i saying is that I can't be objective with myself, I always need more.

No such thing as overacheiving in my opinion. You can acheive as high as you want to :D

The member named blackchickintheback is a perfectionist. She is my best friend and she is the biggest perfectionist i know! If you look up perfectionist in the dictionary you will see her picture!:laugh3:

because you are ya perfectionist!:laugh3:

I'm a perfectionist in that I can't keep my bedroom tidy so I have it perfectly messy. I get really picky when I'm studying though, like all my pencils and books have to be in perfect positioning and inline with the edge of the desk.

Be careful! That sounds a bit like OCD!!:stunned:

the same here.

Perfectly messy. it describes my way of tidying so well.

 

 

I'm a perfectionnist at work when it comes to clean.

And when I write poems/draw cars too. It must be perfect

Perfectionist reporting for duty!

 

:D

 

I'm really nuts with my own goals...but I have no intention whatsoever of changing them.
