Perfectionism & Its Markers

Perfectionism, characterized by setting extremely high standards, can often lead to stress, reduced productivity, and mental health issues. Recognizing and addressing perfectionism can promote a healthier balance.

Perfectionism is a trait that many individuals strive for, aiming to achieve flawlessness in every aspect of their lives. Perfectionism is a personality trait characterized by setting extremely high standards for oneself and striving for flawlessness in all aspects of life. It involves a strong desire to achieve perfection and an intense fear of making mistakes or falling short of…

I strive for excellence in everything I do, which is quite a problem, because I'm not all that excellent at anything.

Despite knowing better, I had given myself a deadline. Today. A big project that I've been working on for months and needs to be Finished already, thank you very much. It's all going well, I think I'll get it done and then ... I get lost in some very very specific sauce.

My therapist is in my ear as I slowly dig myself a deeper pit. Perfectionism, the bane of my existence. Well, one of them. It's at the origin of this particular time-lapse. I want to be Accurate and Complete. Before I know it, I'm covered in mathematics, percentages, statistics, graphs. I become very intimate with a graphics editor, discover functions and shortcuts that were a still a mystery to me three hours ago.

It's almost done when I realise it's wrong. Not inherently but vaguely, marginally, circumstantially. So I delete the work. Start again. It's all or nothing. It's a chore, a mountain, a this-and-then-that-and-then-thus-and-then-so, a finish line somewhere but not visible, not yet.

Then it is Done. I copy, I paste. Then I have something to eat. I've already decided, this deadline today, yeah, will be for tomorrow or the day after that. Time to relax and then go to bed. And then. My brain. Just realises. Out of nowhere. There's something not right. I check and my brain is - of course, flawlessly, inevitably - correct, for fuck's sake. It's fine, I fix. Re-copy, re-paste.

And I kid you not, this exact same thing happens as I am writing this post. So I've just, a minute ago, gone back into the graphics editor. A-g-a-i-n. I do the thing. I copy. I paste. Now, now, now it must be right. Please let it be so. But for all I know, my perfectionism-soaked brain will see it tomorrow and go, "Wait a minute ..."

my brain: only if you know every detail of what you're writing about. otherwise it doesn't count + it's lame + ooc garbage + L + ratio

#my perfectionism kills my creativity :( #i just wanna make a fun little self insert oc to toss into the dc universe but nooo my brain insists on having to know every little- #personality trait of a character before i can try writing them. and the fandom wiki doesn't really go much into personalities #and it's not even a fic i would publish or anything!!! this is just for me who gives a shit how ooc they are #i do wanna read the booster gold comics tho bc he's a time traveler and you know how i am about time travel... and i love blue beetle

An random note on perfectionism.

Not that I've seen any recent examples, but I was thinking about this and wanted to share.

In most stories, when characters are perfectionist, it's always written in a way like the end of their world is not finishing a project or work with everything perfectly done so they have to settle for less. But, there's another form I barely see people write about.

Perfectionism can be your inability to finish anything if it's not perfect.

Take me for example.

I've been turned into a perfectionist from several things, but most importantly, from the lack of support on anything I ever did.

Then, when I got older, that turned into me never finishing anything because I assumed it wouldn't work anyways.

Now as a fully grown adult, I will actually not do something if I feel it isn't going to be perfectly the way I want it to. As if having things done perfectly is the guage for people caring about something.

Now, I've become a slacker.

So, next time you write a perfectionist, you can write a slacker perfectionist who will not do any work because they know they can't get it perfect. That is also valid.

I'm doing far too much introspection lately, can't i just go back to calmly reading fiction?

#Seriously the past few months how i viee myself changed so so much #Obviously becoming a goat is one #Joining tumblr in and of itself was revolutionary (so queer. So leftist. So ahsjsj) #Philosophy summer camp as well as engaging in more philosophy content as a hobby surely didn't help #All the while I'm applying all my current and new knowledge of psychology to everything #Then i like realise some shit about my orientation (not saying them now bc i need to discuss everything properly with my amazing gf) #then i become plural which is like huge #Then I realise i sure have a lot of adhd diagnostic criteria/traits #Plus other gifted kid school and perfectionism reflections :3 #Now I'm analysing my gender #And gender in relation to alterhumanity in both my types (goat + genderweird dude that lives in my head now) #Also got a girfriend just before all of that so that's probably a big deal #Also reconnecting with my spirituality in bursts throughout #It's been HECTIC

Getting myself hype to write my original stuff but. Man is this gonna get involved and in depth (this is a good thing as I'm gonna enjoy it immensely just lol... time for the MEAT of the story, time for the depth to be sunken into)

I just remembered how integral it is to the plot that Khan is like a loyal knight who falls for his master. And how in all the lives after this one, it so deeply influences who he's loyal to and who he loves and hates and what he thinks is justified. How he falls for Anihilation because he's placed in that knight role again and he can't help but take his duties seriously even though they contradict his mission. How he only wants someone to surpass him who can Protect as well as or better than him, how protecting Others motivates him so deeply as to violate his other beliefs, how that intense value of protection starts from his sister and then blossoms as he's charged with being a knight a bodyguard a protector of one or many Over and Over, and so when it's finally time for other people to Serve Him he's in conflict. He hates knowing these people will die for him, for his cause, he loves them so desperately in a way he didn't love the people he served before and now Knows how his masters loved him so dearly in return. Why they trusted him with their lives. How it leads ultimately to his death when he can't serve anymore, how in his future he's afraid of leadership despite being made for it, how he favors those that serve under him a little Too much and a little Too lieniently because he remembers being them and they're what feel familiar, what he's desperate to trust and rely on.

#tbf #tbf - khan #mejo writing #my perfectionism is kicking jn going: but CAN you write this and cover everything you want to??? #and i guess the answer is ;-; ill fucking find out. i hope so ;-; AAAAAAA #as a fun bonus fact i guess? decent guesses can be made on who reincarnated into who based on #personality traits. like khans reincarnation is... fairly obvious. followed the exact natural evolution expected of khan #but then theres situations like sol/khan and taijin/kniren where they are NOT reincarnations #just they parallel and contrast very intensely. which is why those gods were so drawn to those mortals

Teeth

no spoilers, this is all pre-ARR! When Aki was brought in to the weird adoptive family.

tw, mentions of food.

Aki’s teeth are sharp. More So than your average Keeper. Her fangs are long, pointy, and ready to sink in to the next one to offer their hand.

Cevi noticed this mere seconds into knowing the girl. She was small, frail, her eyes blown wide and her mouth set in a snarl. Her hair was choppy and matted, and Cevi could hear a growl as she approached the girl.

Cevi did not speak to her. Words would not work, if this she was certain. This was a girl who had seen things Cevi quite literally could not imagine.

“We should leave her be,” Amil spoke plainly. “She does not wish to be bothered.”

“She’s but a child!” Cecelia hissed. “I’m not leaving, that’s final.”

Cevi raised a hand and both voices fell silent. Cevi stepped closer, showing no sign of fear. She stretched out both her hands and slowly spun around, showing the child she was unarmed. Aki’s snarl did not quiet, but she did not make any moves to attack. Cevi took this as a good enough sign to continue.

Cevi dropped down in front of Aki, sitting herself cross legged. She put her hands palm up in her lap and sat still, watching the child. It did not come quickly, but eventually, Aki relaxed. She leaned back against the tree she sat in front of, her glare eventually turning into simply a look of distrust.

“My name is Cevi,” she spoke gently, as not to alarm her. “What’s yours?”

The child looked her up and down, her eyes drifting to Cevi’s companions that stood further back behind her. She brought her attention back to Cevi.

“Aki.” She crossed her arms over her chest.

Cevi nodded, looking over her more relaxed form. She couldn’t be older than fourteen summers.

“My friends and I mean you no harm,” Cevi’s voice did not waver. “Will you come to our campsite for a moment? We have food to share.”

She shook her head. “I’m staying here.”

“I can go get some for you,” Florian offered quietly. Aki’s eyes darted to him as he shyly stepped forward. “We just want to make sure you are taken care of.”

Aki stood up slowly, her eyes not leaving Florian’s for a moment. Her stare was hardened, her claws sharp and ready to attack. And in an instant, she darted to him. She was fast, leaving not a one of them a chance to stop her.

Cevi bolted, ready to defend her friend when she realized the child was not attacking at all. She had climbed up his tall frame, clinging to his front. Florian, for his part, looked at Cevi with his eyes blown wide as he held this tiny Miqo’te in his arms.

“It looks like she likes you,” Constianne said with a chuckle. “That would be the first.”

Lucien elbowed Constianne and hushed her sharply.

“Would you… like to come with, then?” Florian asked nervously.

Aki nodded into his chest.

“Okay,” Florian spoke with a smile forming on his lips. “Let’s be off then.”

Aki stayed by Florian’s side the entire night. She eventually warmed up to Cevi, then one by one started meeting the others eyes. When one dinner spent with them turned in to a night, into a week, into moons, Aki started to grow fond of each and every one of the new adults in her life. She sat on Lucien’s shoulders as they built their new home and sat beside Cecelia as she read stories to Aki. Amil played hide and go seek with her (in his strange ways) and Constianne taught Aki to build fires to make warm sweets for after supper. Florian often found himself with a smaller shadow behind him at every turn.

When their new home was built with one additional bedroom for Aki, Cevi tucked Aki into her new bed and kissed her forehead goodnight. Aki’s hand caught Cevi’s, a request for Cevi to stay just a bit longer.

Though Aki’s teeth are sharp, she had no need to bite. Even the wildest of beasts can be trained with a gentle hand.

#food mention #v time bb #aki mitsuo #ffxiv #akis weird adoptive family!!!!!! #not set in stone. unedited. complete bullshit. #but that’s the nature of the challenge #!!!!!! #this would have stayed in my drafts never to see the light of day #but this challenge is to break perfectionism #so fuck it #have a this!!!!!! #real talk i do really love her weird adoptive family #they’re batshit #and she’s a crazy little shit who is so excited to experience what life can be #and boy are they ready to show her!!!! #even amil loves her #aki picked up some of amil’s mega edgy traits though. #amil you can’t be teaching children how to be edgelords #she really got all of her (jokingly) worst qualities from these guys huh

When your autistic bluntness "gets you into trouble"

To say the last few weeks have been intense, demanding, absorbing and utterly full-on is an understatement. Moving house is always a big project but when you’ve been in the process of moving for nigh on a year, when most of your stuff has been in storage for months and arrives in anonymous looking boxes labeled obscurely by well-meaning packers and piled one on top of the other so you can’t…

Dealing with perfectionists at work is so annoying...oh you want perfect, or nothing? Enjoy your big heap of nothing then 🙄

#work sucks #work #dont get me wrong I understand the internal drive for perfectionism but it's an actively harmful/inefficient trait most of the time so #it should be checked/conquered not pushed on others #anyway its a good excuse for me to not do the task now since it's not wanted unless perfect #I'd wondered why almost none of my coworkers were doing this #guess they were smarter than me and knew from the start to not even try/bother #op #personal

[freytful]

my theory is that the reason public perception of ocd has so little in common with real OCD is that someone at some point got it confused with obsessive compulsive personality disorder, which is actually significantly more like the pop culture version of ocd than actual ocd

#doesn't excuse using a disorder as a personality trait but. #go read the wikipedia article for ocpd if you wanna #its *actually* the Perfectionism Personality people imagine ocd to be #which! huh!
