Is being a perfectionist "Good"?

Im definatly not a perfectionist. But i know alot of people who say they are, and when they do they try to say it like its some psycological disease, but you can tell they think they just happen to be better than other people on instinct.

I dunno... Maybe im just naturally lazy. I think people can be perfectionists in some things, but very few are in every situation. Normally they just say it to... to what? Make themselves seem more important? i dont know.

I have never met a perfectionist in my life. There are plenty of people that say they are but they're just lying.DeeJayInphinity

Oh yah thats what i mean. Most people say it as they are revising something, and just want something to say. I think.

objectively, everything is perfect because when you take away attributes of which we make comparisons, you would see that every physical object in the universe is unique for existing in its own time and space. Its the minds ability to observe the world subjectively that gives us imperfection because. As we begin to assign attributes to objects and ideas we begin to compare them to other similar things based on our likes and dislikes, giving use the idea that things are less perfect than others.

In truth, each blade of grass is perfect. Not because of its shape, or color, or lenght, but because in all the universe, the matter that makes up that single blade of grass only exists in one place in all time and space.

I guess perfectionism just reflects how important something is to a person, details meanmuch. They probably have too much free time as well so splitting hairs is the onlyactivity they have to occupy.

It is not good at all.

I'm a perfectionist myself. If there is just one thing wrong, on a paper or something, and it isn't perfect, then it feels like I completely failed. Since nothing can ever be done perfectly, I always feel like a failure whenever I do something. That kind of feeling is nothing to be proud of.

I don't think its exactly bad, but its not too good to be so uptight and perfect. But usually at my school the "Perfectionist" is the person who somehow doesn't fail a thing, has no mistakes, has fricken 103% on his report cards, etc. I've seen people like that. But that's not a bad thing, they're just too smart for their own good:P.

I am a perfectionist. I already know what I'm going to be doing three months from. My whole life is already planned out. I organize my clothes in the order of what day of the week I'm going to wear them on. I also pre-divide my toilet paper so I already can wipe my butt without having to rip them off the roll when I'm using the restroom. I also measure every calorie I take in whem eating, and every calorie I lose in exercise so I don't gain too much weight.

Just kidding. Who cares about being perfect? I just want to be the best I can become.

being a perfectionist is like believing in the easter bunny.

You can only achieve your goal when you've gone crazy.

I don't know if it's possible, but I am a borderline perfectionist. Like, I am not over-complusive and really don't start going ape if things don't go perfectly, but on things like school, me, and some other things, I have perfectionist tendencies. My sister on the other hand sets out her cereal the night before and that kind of stuff, now that's too far for me.ice_radon
