People ask me how I'm able to always, not just do well, but exceed WAY above average in things like honors algebra and calculus, reading, science, an so forth. IT kind of makes me who I am, and it defines me. Perfectionism has kind of taken over, and its why I accomplish half the stuff I accomplish. Being a "piano paragon" and stuff, constant winer of power of the pen--I'm just not sure I"m ready to let go of it! It sounds weird, though? Is that even possible? And I've tried these things, but the perfectionist side of me kicks in. I'm not trying to please anyone but myself, and nothing I do is good enough for me. I do like where this article is going. If I could just have a little more in detail things, that would help. THANKS!!!!!!!!! I am an academic perfectionist.

It's so debilitating! I can easily talk myself out of doing anything that would benefit me or bring me happiness or contentment. The saddest thing is I have helped people move on to better things in their lives with my advice. Talk about a vicious circle. Thank you for taking the time to write on the subject. You have provided some really excellent ideas that are not overwhelming to me.

I've always been an avid perfectionist, almost obsessive compulsive, just small things get on my nerves, if I set up a username on a website for example, it can't have numbers, and it has to be the same as every other username. I can't stand little bits of clutter, I can't stand being a perfectionist! But this has helped a bit, thanks a lot. Jonathan. x Hi,
