I'm fairly perfectionistic, but it depends on what I'm doing. For example, I absolutely hate bad grammar, so if I make a spelling mistake or something, I always feel the need to correct it. And nothing bothers me more than seeing a typo or mistake in a newspaper or book I'm reading (isn't someone paid to make sure there aren't any mistakes?). Yes, even when reading other people's things as well, but I keep that to myself. [img]smile.gif[/img] Of course, people take advantage of that by letting me reading their essays and such; I'm a proofreader extraordinaire! There are other things I'm a perfectionist about, but I don't want to bore anyone with any other examples. [img]smile.gif[/img]
It can really be a bad thing because I get so caught up in doing something exactly right that it often takes the fun out of things that should be fun. I enjoy reading, and if I let myself go into grammar mode, then every little mistake bothers me, and it hampers my enjoyment of whatever I'm reading. Luckily, I've started to learn to control myself, so now I have more fun doing things I enjoy.
