Well, i ask this question because i consider myself as a perfectsionist person... sometimes i think it is too much... but i can't help it... i can't tolerate any mistakes no matter how small it is and i make a big fuss if something is not going according to what i want... i also demand a lot from myself... i try not to make mistake at all no matter how small it is and if i did, i will be so angry with myself and keep on blaming myself... this is because of the way my parents had raised me throughout my whole life and i try to overcome it now... any suggestions??? thanks in advance...
