The curse of being a lazy perfectionist

(source:http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BMdE8WbCIAAufmW.jpg:large)

I'm so lazy and I will always procrastinate on things I have to do– I even procrastinate on things that I want to do. The above picture sums up everything. It has to be perfect or I just don't do the thing at all. Not only that, I'm very– extremely nit picky when it comes to doing things I genuinely care about. I set high standards for myself when I'm doing things that I care about. If it's not up to my standard, I would scrap the entire thing and start anew. It's the reason why I abandoned so many of my stories, because to me, it aren't good enough. So if I know I can't do a certain thing well, I would just give up and not do it at all. It sucks because, logically, no one is perfect and are bound to make mistakes but there's always this innate need in me to be perfect. To not make any mistakes. Probably it's because I linked mistakes with not being smart, or embarrassment since if you get answer a question wrongly and it's being pointed out– it sucks.

However, I really do need to come terms to things. I have to. Somehow.
