I come across as not needing others. but its not true.
I need to have higher expectations of others, but less of me.

I joke I am a recovering perfectionist but it is kind of true.

My parents would always say to not start something if you are not going to finish it and something worth doing is worth doing right.

Yes they were full of old sayings but I do believe that they are correct and I do always try to live up to ones like these.

I know to rein myself back though when I have done a good job and to stop focusing on perfection-yes, I do know it does not exist

I also know that not everyone lives by these standards and I have been guilty of jumping in and finishing a half-done project (after waiting a couple of months for it to be finished).
