I find perfectionnism is part of my traits too. I really am trying to change that though. It has brought me much anxiety. I want things to be perfect and they are not then I get anxious. I think that having been inschool has oddly helped me with this. I have had to turn in so many imperfect papers and leave exams imperfect before turning them in that I am slowly getting over it. I am learning that good is good enough.

Actually good is good enough is often my motto to fight my perfectionnism when school work is getting to me and it creates anxiety. Somehow reminding myself that good is good enough makes me feel better lol!

Not sure I am making sense lol. Am kinda tired. But that is my two cents!

Excellent topic Ivoryplum, thanks for bringing this up.

Members, do you share the same experience? Do you feel like you are perfectionists as well? If so, how does your perfectionism affect your daily life, if at all?

I had the perfectionist attitude. Particularly when I drew, which is why I stopped because it became meddlesome to get things the exact way I wanted...and nothing was ever the way I wanted it. OCD has nothing to do with mess, it's about obsessing over one thing...a way of doing it, the way it looks, etc. I think once I gave up my perfectionist attitude I had severe cases of anxiety, but I think thats because I had less to focus on but myself. So you might be right, perfectionists have a high possibility of developing anxiety.

What kind of equipment does your band use? I do vocals for my group, and am a bit of a newbie when it comes to the hardware and software. Right now we use fruityloops 8 and cakewalk for the beats, and bought a cheap $100 mic and record with melodyne...but I haven't been too happy with the quality.

Oh, and not giving credit seems more like a humble trait. Personally, the more credit I give myself the more I try to match and beat the quality of the last thing...so I see no wrong as long as you don't neglect yourself entirely. Just my rambling 2 cents.

I never thought I was a perfectionist until I got my PAs.

I always watched my sister rebel and I was the perfect daughter... I was the one who got good grades and never showed any emotions to my parents. Just said, "Yes" and "Sorry" always. I never wanted to be like my sister.. I never wanted to get in trouble by my parents like my sister. But of course, I ended up doing things behind their backs. And as I grew up, I thought I was so undramatic.. and I was the friend people came to whenever they needed anything. I was the perfect friend. I got angry when I was not.

For some reason it seems to me that perfectionists are strongly related to anxiety. Is there anyone else on here thats a perfectionist like I am...?

With my band, I made the vocalists do many many takes to make sure it was perfect. Or when I'm organizing, everything has to be straight. Its not OCD because I am a very messy person, and dont mind a mess, but of course I'd prefer it clean. If I walk by something and its crooked, I dont care. But I find myself irritated by little things like when people try to put stickers on their cars, and they tried to put it in the middle but its off a bit...yeah, that irritates me. But not to the point where I'm mad or anything, I just wish they would've taken more time to put it on. Only because I think it'd look beter (perfectionist). If it were my car, I would take the sticker off. haha.

Also, I am really into photography, and once I am better, it will be my side job once again. I never give myself enough credit for my work, also for the music I write, theres no credit given really. Now, I am not hard on myself at all...I don't say I did a terrible job or anything like that. I know deep down its good, but I just don't let myself know that for some reason.

Anyways, I'm completelyu rambling. My main reason for this was just to see how much perfectionism is related to anxeity. I know my friend is a perfectionist as well, and doesnt give her self credit for stuff, and she too has anxiety and panic attacks.

Thanks!
