If I always get 100% in my exam. But in real life some people will hate you for being a perfectionist, you seem to have little tolerance with others imperfection and you want to tell them this is the perfect way to do things. It has become a habit to see the world - that should always be in the right angle.

i like to do things myself and i complain a lot if someone else is doing them because to me its wrong, so i rather do it and people dont like this, but theres things about everybody that people dont like though.

I'm a perfectionist if you consider that I like ording my colthes in base of colours for exaple white t-shirts with white T-shirts,orange pullovers all together,black pants too all together.I order too my books in base of colour,dimensions,and alphabetical order too.Tha same for plates and other thinsg.but I'm tollerant with other imperfection,better I have to be tollerant because I live with my boyfrien who's not a perfectionist in these things,But he is perfectionist when he has to do a reparation or working on PC.

actually, i've had to train the perfectionist out of my character. it's just too much pressure to try to live up to that standard and you will inevitibly be disappointed by others who don't share your standard. we are all human, we all make mistakes and truth be told, your way may not actually be the perfect way all the time. that characteristic will turn most people off in a heartbeat because it imparts an attitude of arrogance, a "my way or no way" type personality that is very hard to get along with. Perfection is fine to strive for in school, and to a certain degree, work, but in relationships, forget it.

Hm.. what can I say? Basicly I always want everything must go on perfect. Don't to strange but always right. Maybe that's the name of perfecttionist. BUt until now I always do that with all my friends and I always hear their voice. I want to be perfect with all of the voice. Not just with myself. So?
