Can you survive with perfection?

That ordeal is really something... Well, in that case, definitely I will survive of course. It is not really fine at all that someone keeps on nagging you and it is unhealthy to your own feelings and thinking, but talking about surviving is of course I can do survive. It is just so irritating that sometimes it will brought you some negative vibes but I am always a believer, that everything happens for a reason and whatever happens will bring good things to learn.

I think the question should be.. can this person survive with me. LOL. Hahaha if the person is too perfectionist for no reason I have the tendency to repel and rebel or become Oppositional Defiant, for no reason also. just to taunt and tease the person. now will this person survive???

Not being a perfectionist myself it is annoying to have to do things for someone who is. It seems nothing you do or try seems as perfect as they themselves think they can do. I know a few perfectionist and I must say I am so glad I am not one. Life is to short to worry about the tiniest modular details.

I myself feel like I'm in a military. Everything I do is being judged. It feels like my bosses are breathing down my neck. I always get mistakes and people around me waits until I make another mistake. I can't live to perfection. I just want to do what I have to.

hi, its really hard to meet a person who is perfectionist because everything for him/her should always good and perfect,like my father and my brother are always perfectionist but when they do such stupid thing its just nothing,actually my mother had a hard time conversation with my father sometimes.

I strive to be perfect but fall short every time. I do know what you mean and you have to realize that some people are just made that way as are those who are hoarders. Some people are clean while others are dirty, some smart, some stupid. It all goes with equality.

I know how you feel, my husband is like that ,but we have been married for 26 years and he already understood that I don't wish to be perfect like him. Ha Ha!

I think this is an issue that should be talked about by each involved. Let the person know that nagging is not a very good example of perfection.

I try to be perfect in my house I know that is so annoying for my kids but I do that so they can get the fruit of being perfect

It could drive me crazy but with the way I can carry myself with such situation, I can cope up with it. You just need to learn the "art of ignoring" people. Coz if you let them annoy you everytime, you would surely be fighting all the time.

I am almost in that situation here. I can't leave a box of anything on the kitchen table for example for 1 minute before my mother sees it and is ready to put it some place else. Today she almost put away a leftover container of French Fries in which I wanted left out til I put the bottle of OJ back in. The other day it was a box of donuts on the table she asked about, I planned to put them back but had to do something with some dishes first (it would have taken 1-3 minutes). She is always picking up things after me & putting them back if I need to have them out still when I leave them for a few minutes or what not, or asking me what's this or that left here or there. Drives me bonkers. No one is gonna see them, just us and other family. She used to put the cereal box side ways on the table cause she thought people were looking in the window and could see the box on the table if it was standing up straight. Crazy OCD. Military to a point. Mostly just OCD, manipulation, control issues, & mental abuse. I feel like I'm gonna go insane here if I don't get out.

Hi, I was living with someone who wants everything perfect, we used to fight like cats and dogs. I thought I won't survive but somehow I did. I learned to be patient and stay calm. If I want to say something I let her finish yelling first, then I tell her what I want to say straight to the point before she start yelling again. It makes her shut her mouth, when she finally realizes she is wrong. If she doesn't listen I sneak out of the house and let her yell all she wants, I won't be there to listen anyway .

Oh, my goodness, no. Perfection is such a tedious action. I'm not that tedious and I like a little disarray in my life.

Yep,everything must be suitable for others!

No, I know I couldn't. I had quit my job because I couldn't take that kind of pressure anymore.

Too much strictness or so called perfection in any work or supervising on each and every activity that we do is not good. You after some time the person get fed up listening same thing again and again which may bounced back also as the perfection may turn out to be fizzed one. So it is always better to tell that do your work but see that it is neatly and as required.

No one survive with perfection, some time we get a time or situation that we should ignore things for our self and for our people.
