damn perfectionism

The other day my best friend made a comment stating that I'm so hard to please, and that it's so difficult to get sincere praises from me. I thought it over, and I decided that it is true. I've always had such impossibly high standards for everything, especially for myself. This becomes a really bad thing when I start to apply my harsh standards to the people and things around me. Nothing is ever good enough for me unless it's perfect. I'm so damn perfectionistic and I don't know how to stop it because a part of me enjoys being perfectionistic and will settle for nothing but perfection, such as when it comes to appreciating art.

I wish I could be less critical of things. I don't want to come across as this guy who hates everything and is impossible to please. For a long time I've been try to intentionally praise, support, encourage and compliment people even though I don't always believe the things that I say, but that's just unfair to them!

Whoa... someone else with the same stuff I have... Only instead of being perfectionistic with art, mine is with women and who I am attracted to... Unless I can change this, I will more than likely die without knowing what a relationship is like... I have set myself up for failure, but I can't seem to change this either. I don't want to change this, because it has been an obsession for so long that I just can't let it go... Holding on to this doesn't make me happy, but it doesn't make me as depressed as I would be if I abandoned the whole thought of finding this perfect woman, who in all reality doesn't even exist. ::(:
