ARE YOU A PERFECTIONIST ???


ARE YOU A PERFECTIONIST???

Are you someone who HAS to have everything go your way in order to be content?
Does it drive you totally bonkers when you hear a strange rattle while driving your car and you can't think of anything else until you find out where the rattle is coming from and squash the noise like you would a cockroach? Do all your sexcapades have to end with the perfect orgasm? In this year of political intrigue, do you find yourself going berserk because Donald Trump somehow has come out on top of the original-- what was it-- 19 people who threw their hats in the ring?

If you are this sort of person, this much of a perfectionist, you're probably a person who hasn't any pets, isn't married, has no (and never wants to have any), and never wants<b> pets. </font></b>I would lay odds on you being under 40, too. I bet you change your underwear twice a day, shower morning and night, work in an office and can't stand the "idiots" you work with. (But of course don't let THEM know that!!).

Life tends to whittle us down.

If you started out this way, by the time you get to my age, if you're lucky enough to live this long, most of these personality manifestations will have worn off you like the barnacles sanded from the hull of a worked on dry-docked ship.

Not only that, but animals, especially dogs and cats (I'm not so sure about rug rats!), will suddenly, around the age of 60, take on a wisdom that you couldn't grasp when you were younger, and they--the animals--will turn into your best of all old and wise friends.

Know that I love you, even if you are a perfectionist, under 40, and think of me as a stupid old turd..

Just sayin' (or writin'...

Thank you for your interesting comment, Biggl !! The search for excellence is probably endemic across the board in the entire human race and is what makes us all strive for betterment. This energy propelling the force of upward betterment for all humans is at its peak prior to middle age and then slowly sinks into acceptance of all our fates. I'm at the point now in my life where I simply enjoy What Is without fighting the force... love, david.

    I use to be but not now since I retired. I have no children but I do own a few cats. I am glad I don't have to vote for your elections coming up. Going to be a very tough one indeed. hugssssssssss V
I think a large portion of the American people are so pissed off at what this country has become since the obvious conspiracy murder of John Kennedy in 1963, that someone like Donald Trump actually has a good chance of becoming our next president. If Trump does get elected I think he'll certainly bring down many Houses of Cards... We live in fascinating times! I personally love the turmoil and excitement.. Love you Sweetness! david

    You have just described the worst sort of perfectionist. A good sort of perfectionist is one who practices it in connection with a craft for that sort of perfectionism can have an objective reality. Most other sorts do not.
    Also not all people understand that striving for excellence is not the same as perfection.
    You are also right that getting older does tend to cure one of morbid perfectionism.
A very good distinction, JustS. between the quest for excellence and the neurotic need for 100 percent.... Thanks, Dave.

If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.
