Is It A DISEASE BEING A PERFECTIONIST???

03-22-2005, 06:48 PM

First, I am not a web genious. I have had no formal training in any area of web design, video, imaging, or other computer related areas. That being said, I am damn good at everything I do. I am the classic "jack-of-all-trades". However, I am now burning the 5th copy of a dvd I built yesterday. Every time I watch the finished disc, I find some little thing that irritates me so much I re-render the enire project and wait 2 hours for it to complete...knowing damn well it will never be good enough.

This is a bunch of blablabla so - MY QUESTION IS THIS: IS BEING A PERFECTIONIST A DISEASE OR SIMPLY A CONTROLABLE IRRITTION THAT BENEFITS IN THE END???

I have that too, but this is more focused on detail. Little things that I just can't let go. It's like proof-reading every post checking for errors - when it really doesn't mean shit.

Not a disease. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder affects millions of people. Its caused by chemical imbalances in your brain.

I have a friend who has it really bad. She's become obsessed with perfect hygiene to the point of bizarre.

Like if you go to a restaurant she won't touch the menu. She won't pickup the salt or pepper shakers. She won't touch doorknobs.

Never liked touching public doorknobs especially at a public restroom.

According to DSM (what version is it now???), obsessive-compulsive is not diagnosed from re-editing a DVD a few times. So you're safe ... for now.

i never really thought about it that way. if it could be clinically proven then i might very well be a disease

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

First, you're right. You are not a genious (whatever that is, I think you mean genius)
2nd, you're good at everything you do, except for spelling, and being able to tell the difference between an involuntary impairment of health and a voluntary obsession.
