Are perfectionists perfect?

Nobody is perfect, that we have to keep in mind. There will always be a flaw in each person. Yes, constant practice may make an activity perfect, but then accidents do happen . When that time comes, it will make you realize , that only God is perfect.

I don't think anyone can achieve perfection. Perfection is by essence, above humanity, and infinitely far from us. I think perfectionist just tend to try and get as close to it as they can even though they're still as far from perfection as someone who's not trying. That's mathematically though. In reality, sure you meet people who seem perfect, but when you look into it, you'll see they have they problems too. For example, I know a brilliant girl, who was beautiful, social, and truly had everything. Having talked to her about some more serious subjects, I found out she had a lot of self-esteem issues, aswell as she didn't get into the great universities she should have easily gotten into. I personnally never thought much of myself on the other hand, and yet I realized not long ago that despite what it looks like, I have achieved so much. All that to say, you may never be perfect, but you can sure as hell try!

I think a perfectionist is just a person who try to do everything perfect. But the perfect means in this case is depend on that person scale. The best thing by being a perfectionist is we will always try to do something as good as we can. Some perfectionist perhaps over acting while they try to control other people with their perfection scale. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Hi roselabvon: Of course not. I can tell you as a perfectionist person I am that we are just humans. I have to deal with my obsession of wanting to have everything in control, everything planned, to be prepared for all the things in my schedule. The result has always been stress. But do you know something? I have experienced that I am harder with myself rather than with other people. It's more difficult for me to forgive myself when I don't do what I expect to. ALVARO

id like to believe that no one's perfect, even the perfectionist. they are just persons who want things to appear perfect in their own eyes. it is not really a bad thing though. but for me, being a perfectionist doesnt mean that the person is perfect also, without flaws. nobody's perfect here, except God. we are all humans, subject to making mistakes. and that makes us imperfect.

Are perfectionists perfect? A perfectionist is a person that tends to be hard on themselves, spot the tiniest mistakes in themselves and others. They have unrealistic standards and they tend to be very judgmental. So to me, A Perfectionist, is never going to be perfect in their own eyes as well as to others. They're more like sad people to me. They need more understanding than most of us do.

No, for the simple reason is that I think that thinking that everything will go forward perfectly is the biggest flaw. The fact of the matter is that there is nothing that has ever happen in life that could be considered to be completely perfect. And to think yourself in such terms is just the biggest, most ultimate flaw that you can realize. Now do not get me wrong, I always think that there can be and should be some level of room for improvement. However, there are times where the improvement is rather lost when people are never satisfied with what is being proved. That to me is why a perfectionist is flawed. Some take it to a level where they are never satisfied. They cannot be perfect for the simple fact that they expect to me and in some cases claim they are.

Being a perfectionist is not a bad thing, as long as you don't negatively impact someone else. On some things I do, I consider myself a perfectionist, for example when I built my latest desktop computer, I used 2 sided tape, wire ties, and looms to make sure that all wires inside were tucked away, and not in any danger of contacting moving parts. There is no window in the case so you can't see the extra work, but I would not be satisfied with anything less. That behavior hurts no one. When I work on friends or client machines, I do not always see the level of detail that I would strive for. However unless the problem is related to the routing of wires and such, I do not criticize the person, so again my perfectionism hurts no one. Am I perfect? No, far from it actually. I would assume that there are people out there that pay more attention to detail than I do, and there's nothing wrong with that. Now when I am assisting someone on a project, and I have input that may make the outcome better, I will suggest it, but in no way would I chastise the person for not adhering to my suggestions. That action in and of itself, would make a person imperfect. A perfect person (if one existed) would see the imperfection in others, and help them in a non-confrontational way to become better at what they are doing. A perfect person would not be critical of others.

Perfectonists are no more perfect than anyone else. They just want to do everything perfect, which is okay, as long as they don't put that pressure and expectations on others. Having a perfectionist boss can be tough, as nothing is good enough what you do, but for me actually this is what made me give up my own perfectionism. Its great to do everything as best as we can, but there is a limit where I can turn harmful.

For me, of course-nobody's perfect, perfectionists seek perfection, which makes them imperfect. They see themselves as imperfect that's why they set goals or at times force themselves to do this or do that. In this, way, they seem to challenge themselves to strive towards perfection.
