i never thought of this but it seems that i have the traits of a perfectionist.. i always set a rigid scheduel of everything when i wake up. for example my scheduel in my mind was this> wake up, get to work by 7:12am get done with work by 1:30pm get home by 2:30pm. do homework untill 4:30pm. packege items that sold on ebay by 6:30pm watch at 8:00pm. it sounds silly but this is how my mind works. i missed those deadlines by minutes and i felt like i failed! i got home at 5pm and home worl lasted untill 7:00pm and i felt like i couldnt breath, i saw red. my girlfriend called and i almost cursed her out. i was soo upset i missed my little deadlines. this happens pretty much everyday. i set little deadlines that are impossible to reach and when i miss them even by a little bit im bent out of shape for the rest of the day. i yell at people because im bent out of shape and i dont want to be around people. i dont know if this is a huge problem or do some other people feel like this???
