Perfection With a Dash of Impatience
It is an odd thing to realize something unusual about my character and personality, I am a perfectionist who is partially extremely impatient. I find it hysterical that I have a mix of needing things to be just so, that is perfect, while being unable to be patient with things. Take for example when I go to a place to paint paint-it-yourself pottery, I am all ready to paint something beautiful and fancy, but then get to the actual painting and just want to get it done, all the while wanting it to look as nice spectacular as the displayed items in the studio. I race through for the most part and then get results that most would think are probably passable for decent, and think, never again, this looks like a child did it. I try to overcome this, but find it hard to say, take your time and do it well, no, I want to do it well without time or effort. I like to be good at things for sure, but never wanting to actually have to be slow and methodical about it. Why I end up stressing myself about all this is a mystery, it is not like I am really ever being judged more harshly by anyone but myself and my own perfectionist mentality. It is truly an exhausting mind I have, but I suppose there is worse. I find carefree and lackadaisical to be rather frustrating to cope with in others. I suppose Type A and Type B are meant to balance out each other in this world :0)
