<p>oh man, i thought i was the only person who actually took the time to color coordinate their closet :). i've developed slight OCD as a result of being a perfectionist too, but at least everything in my house is really clean and organized as a result. </p>
<p>i always end up doing everything when i have to work in groups, partially because i am anal about having it done to perfection, and partially because i never end up working with anyone who would do the work properly.</p>
<p>I think they do that on purpose</p>
<p>You're definitely not the only one, lux perpetua43. I'm so anal that I've even separated my clothes into two groups: spring/summer wear and fall/winter wear. Yep, I'm crazy.</p>
<p>Ever tried compulsively color-coding your notes, keeping your handwriting perfect (on assignments that are not time-pressured), and meticulously keeping a productivity chart?</p>
<p>My handwriting is naturally perfect =) </p>
<p>I am a perfectionist at heart, but I'm too lazy to carry out being one. </p>
<p>Group work is easy as long as there is at least one other person who wants a good grade in the group. Then you can split the work. jk but really you can.</p>
<p>Psycho_Paroxysm, I always try to keep my handwriting perfect, which then drives me crazy when I write something that's not. That's why (whenever I can) I type. That way I don't have to deal with it. No, I don't color-code my notes or keep a productivity chart.</p>
<p>I`m a perfectionist, But I also have marks of slight OCD. I will do all kinds of little routines and ranom repetitive motions. For example before going to bed I´ll drink the date in exact number of gulps of water, for example if its the 17th I 'll drink 17 gulps of water. Its quite frustrating, because if I try to avoid this for example I won't be able to go to sleep until I do it. I used to have little routine in my bedroom, when I would come in I would check the telefone, check the curtains, do my bed, and change my shoes...I'd do it always, regardless of the time etc. Fortunately I've been able to stop some of these routines, at least the ones that were most annoying and time consuming....</p>
<p>I'm a perfectionist when it comes to the academic stuff.</p>
<p>My rooms a mess. I'm a bit lazy about the non-academic stuff</p>
<p>Observe as the conversation makes a transition over to OCD. ;)
Someone once told me they knew a girl who had OCD and whenever someone touched her on the right hand, she touched her left hand to make it even. She did it with her feet, shoulders, and everything as well.
Olive_Tree, I type when I can as well for that same reason. It's faster and much less harsh on me.</p>
<p>I'm a perfectinoist about things I care about (especially art). If I don't care about whatever it is that I'm working on, I really could care less of its quality.</p>
<p>Well, I'm kinda perfectionist about my essays, like I want them to sound a certain way. But I don't go over them over and over, maybe once, if I actually feel like it. Drawing, and getting the right shading, I'm also kinda perfectionist about. But everything else, I try to cut corners and find ways to do stuff faster to get em over with.</p>
