Your framing still centers others as well as negativity. You should aim to please yourself with your efforts, and accept them as enough.
The same moment I stop being right I start to learn.
I don’t have a problem with perfectionism IRL.
But the minute it’s a video game? I must be perfect and I also dramatically shift to Machiavellian thinking. Everything in the game is specifically for my benefit. Every item belongs to me. And if killing an NPC will give me more power, that dude is dead.
Good to have an outlet
I understand that being comfortable in one’s own skin means being comfortable with being average, but… Can’t I also be amazing and the best and like, so cool? Why can’t I be well adjusted and also perfection incarnate?
the solution is viewing yourself as the ultimate being that does everything perfect first try, and if ot6ger people say otherwise, then they simply don’t understand your perfection.
a god complex is what i am saying
My god, that’s perfect! Wait, no, I’m perfect!
There was a ‘courage the cowardly dog’ episode about this exact thing
This is the real reason the Emperor’s Children fell to Chaos
A lot of NPD moments in these comments. Glad that social media is finally accepting discussion about narcissistic thoughts.
I blame Yoda for their “do or do not; there is no try” maxim.
Don’t fucking come for me like that wtf
Counterpoint: I’ll simply give up if I can’t do it perfect right away. That’ll surely fill the gaping hole in my soul.
It never will
Ah, fuck, then I give up.
Good! Surrender to being broken and beautiful ❤
Mods, I’m being personally targeted!
“you have to be ok with being really bad before you can become really good.”
“…or I can just never try!”
I’m starting to think 40 years of this mindset did some permanent damage to me and my future lol
If at first you don’t succeed, hide the evidence and deny everything
