careless. They suffer more for the foolish things they do.\na perfectionist may not be happy, but at least they arent constantly "paying" for their poor decisions.

they are both sad yes...none more so than the other.\n\nAlthough...if i HAD to pick...I'd say the PERSON doing the controlling as they are knowingly doing emotional harm to another human being...taking advantage if you will.\n\nA PERSON that controls another person thinks too highly of themselves and has major issues that need to be addressed and a false sense of self esteem.\n\nAnd the PERSON being controlled is often lacking any self-esteem and the ability to make choices that benefit themselves...and needs help to understand their true selfworth.\n\nYep...pretty even there, but I definitely think the controlling person is worse..\n\n(side note...your question is fair..but some of us find the words sissy and ''soft little pansies' used to describe people just a LITTLE offensive..... :)

Being a perfectionist?\n\nBeing a workaholic?\n\nIt's such a BS question anyway.  Do they expect someone to say "Oh, I beat my wife," or "I can't resist crack."

Yes, my past comes and bites me in the ass all the time...some days I wish I could have a "do over"..so I could make better choices...I know youre not feeling sorry for yourself, it's just so frustrating sometimes...like you want to scream"I'm Sorry, I'm trying my best, I'm not the same person !" Hang in there and keep making good choices and doing the right thing now...

I'm a sensitive soul.  I don't think anything hurts me to the core like knowing I profoundly disappointed someone who I respect and care about.\n\nI can be tough as nails and hold my own.  However, my mom tells me that when I was a child just a look of disappointment was all the punishment I ever needed.  I'll still really chide myself if I've done something plain wrong that causes someone close to me to be disappointed in my actions.

Um, just go with it, trust me, if you don't, the perfectionist will slowly start to become the beast within. So hey, it's the fucking hardest way to live for the first quarter century or so, but if you can replace feelings of lazziness with those of accomplishments, then maybe we are on to something. Cheers.\nBB

Laziness..spell-checker and the internet... Enough said....\nIt's a pet-peave of mine too.. I don't expect perfect grammar, but I at least want to be able to understand what one is saying to me...I'm not a perfectionist, but let's get real...Nobody takes you seriously if you can't tell the difference between to, two and too...Geez! DRIVES ME CRAZY!!

have you seen something buddy?the first time you learned to write and spell, the wole thing was new and frightening. gradually you succeeded in mastering the technic of making yourslf understood by the art of speaking and writing.and now you sit before the computer and the whole world is open to you .so it is not the perfection but the the struggle to accheive the perfection which matters. that makes you try more and more to go towards the goal of perfection.so what does it matter if you are not perfect? you are becoming more and more perfect day by day.and you will go on striving in the belief that practice makes perfect.so who cares nobody is perfect.

I think it's a little deeper than that. perfectionism stems from being too self critical and having unrealistic expectations of being perfect or preforming without making a mistake and lack of self forgivenss and sometimes these same expectations are directed at other individuals \nI think it is healthy to accept that we are human and accept our mistakes and then evaluate and learn from them and move on rather than create alot of negative emotion like selfdestructive self guilt or hate or blaming others this emotional thinking serves no purpose and genrates poor outcomes also if you expect perfection you set yourself up for failure and frustration you eventually burn out because you are not a machine or immortal and it is not possible to always be perfect. doing something good is about your sense of integrity, pride in doing your best and trusting yourself so that others will know they can trust and rely on you because peolpe trust people who do what they say and say what they do and dont trust people who say who they are and what they are going to do and if you have this integrity and make a mistake people tend to not only forgive you but reevaluate their goal "if she can't do it, then no one can or this problem is too difficult for one person to resolve" and they may ask what can I do to help and sometimes we may have unrealistic people like bosses who could not do the job they expect you to do because they only have theory or book knowledge but no real world work experience and their negative judgements dont count cause they dont know what the hell they are talking about. people negatively jude you everyday because of who you are gender race and religion and this is something we need to get over before we step out the front door its life and whoever generates this emotional hate has the problem and you do not have to accept it feed into it or become part of the problem
