I used to be one but I'm not any more. For me it was a hinderance but it depends on the person. If it is your priority to be perfect to get attention and to seek popularity,status,compliments then I think being a perfectionist is a help. If you're like me, stressed out emo,(lol) then being one is a hinderance. Peace.

Hindrance. Seldom is anything quite good enough. Sometimes everything is simply wrong. Strangely enough this can lead to a form of procrastination because if it can't be perfect (and nothing can) then there's no point in even starting.

In some situations it is helpful. But in most cases it is a hindrance.

i think i am a perfectionist. my dad says im OCD but i think i just like things to be in order so that my life can feel more in order. i think it helps me feel better about my life but at the same time it can be bad because i think it can become annoying to family and friends and my boyfriend.

I don't look for perfection in anyone else, but I always expect better of myself. It is a hinderance as I find I never live up to my expectations and feel I should always do better. I constantly put myself down and feel I hate myself.
:-)))

I am...sometimes it helps me cuz i make myself do well, but its also hard cuz if i cant do somting right, i feel like a faliure.
Honestly, i wish i was like a normal person....normal people dont get so mad at themselves when they cant do somthing and do it perfectly.
