perfectionism syndrome

The perfectionism syndrome normally occurs in artistic people and sadly, I'm one of the victims of this syndrome. Well, you might be wondering why I'm calling myself a victim.

Being a perfectionist is not a bad thing, but being an extreme perfectionist can be a very depressing thing whenever you find yourself in a less than perfect situation. Many a times, I find myself unhappy with myself just because I cannot achieve perfect results. To me, anything less than perfect is unacceptable.

Achieving perfect results at all times is next to impossible. I'm bound to be disappointed by myself and become depressed. I'm still trying not to be too hard on myself whenever I experience failures. Guess this takes a little bit of time.
