Perfectionist?

I think I've got some sort of problem.

-

I've become a complete perfectionist, when it comes to my studies! I've always been a bit obsessive, but now I'm worse than ever!

Even if I spot I tiny grammatical mistake or error, in a piece of work that was completed 2/3 months ago, I am compelled to re-do it! It's completely mad, and taking over my life!

I just never feel my work is good enough!

I do all of that up to re-drafting it if it's 2-3 months old. I really don't think you have a problem tbh - many people strive to achieve perfection in their work. I look back at old stuff i've written and cringe at how poorly I worded things.

I'm sure i'll look back at this post in a few months time and think 'gosh, i could've said that better' :p:

I'm a bit like this so whenever I complete a bit of work I make sure I don't have time to go back and dwell on it.

For instance I go out for a drink with my friends, or just do something completely different to reward myself because its finished.
