for me, yes it is. heres something:
i remodeled my family room and new oak trim was the last part. there was a corner of the cove molding that wasnt perfect. i was gonna take it down and redo it. my girlfiend cam by and we talked a bit and i told her i had to take them peices down to redo em.
she said,"why?"
"they arent perfect," was my reply
"if i was the one doin it,how would you expect me to do it?" she asked
"well, i would expect you to do it the best you could."
she came at me like a truck and slammed me agaist the wall and said, "you son of a bitch, what makes you think yer so much better than me!!"
that woke me up to perfectionism being a character defect.
