A perfectionist is someone for whom everything must always be perfect. I have a friend who is a perfectionist who used to line up her furniture with a ruler. Every piece had to be so many inches from the wall and so many inches from every other piece of furniture.
A perfectionist often expects just as much from themselves as they do from other people, but that doesn't make them any easier to deal with.

Perfectionist Definition
2016-09-29 12:35:13 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
1 a : the doctrine that the perfection of moral character constitutes a person's highest good b : the theological doctrine that a state of freedom from sin is attainable on earth
2 : a disposition to regard anything short of perfection as unacceptable
Meaning a person must have everything in their life in order. Shoes must be straight on a mat with laces tucked in, desk area must be straight, organized and clean. Hangers in a closet might be either all the same color or color coded per outfit. No matter how clean something is its just not clean enough for a perfectionist.
Means you spend more time making things perfect in your life then you do spending time living your life.
This can be handed down from generation to generation.

A perfectionist is someone who can't let anything go. Everything has to be perfect right down to the very last detail. Like Monica on Friends. She was a perfectionist b/c she HAD to have everything clean and in order.

perfectionist is a person who has to have everything perfect in their life. from their outter appearance to their job! sometimes this attitude or persona can be seen in their house by being so neat and they never want anything out of order! being a perfectionist isnt a bad thing as long as the person isnt anal about it!
