Well not being able to accept constructive cristicism and having to have everything perfect are two different "problems." For the first criticism self-help, think and understand the person is tryin to perfect you just as you like everything else to be. And to fix your need to have everything to be perfect, mess up your house a little. Then if you cant take that you can go mad in the privacy of your own home. Small steps. Dont get too messy tho. I personally think being a perfectionist isn't all that bad. Its good at some points, however it can be annoying.

Being a perfectionist and unable to accept correction is just a sign of low self-esteem--if you felt good about yourself you would be able to take constructive criticism without thinking it would diminish you as a person. Build up your opinion of yourself and you will realize that you can afford to make mistakes.

PRACTICE DAILY . START OUT WITH A SMALL THING LIKE ME. I HAVE OCD MYSELF SOO I CANT STAND ANYTHING OUT OF ORDER . I PRACTICED ON MY MINI BLINDS, I DID NOT WIN YET BUT IM GETTING BETTER AND ONLY A TRUE PERFECTIONIST KNOWS WHAT I MEAN!!! LOL IF U R TRY MAKING THEM UNEVEN E/O DAY FOR STARTERS, GRADUALLY MOVE UP FROM THERE AND ACCEPT THAT YOU MIGHT NEVER BE PERFECT NOBODY IS AND IS OK TO HAVE BOOKS ON THE SHELF NOT ALPHABETICAL OR TALLEST TO SMALLEST ETC. IT IS OK. NOBODY ELSE GOES IN A HOUSE AND SAYS OMG THOSE BOOKS R NOT ALPHABETIZED OR OMG LOOK THOSE BOOKS R NOT TALL 2 SMALL. AND WHILE SOME MAY NOTICE THE BLINDS IT SOMETIMES OFFERS THEM COMFORT KNOWING THAT THEY CAN SIT ON YOUR SOFA A CERTAIN WAY W/O YOU FREKIN OUT ABOUT THE PILLOWS NOT BEING EVEN.
