Perfectionists may find they have little or no leisure time, are anxious, depressed, angry, frustrated and irritable. Perfectionists may also find they repeatedly check their work or seek reassurance from others that their work is up to standard.
Perfectionists may also attempt to change the behaviour of people around them so it conforms to their way of doing things but other people. Perfectionists may constantly point out others mistakes to them, leading to other people feeling hurt and/or angry.
Perfectionists may be accused of micro-managing others and be perceived as controlling as they may attempt to change the behaviour of people around them so it conforms to their way of doing things, Perfectionists may also find they are spending too much time making lists and excessively organizing things.
People who are perfectionists may also have difficulty making decisions and procrastinate over doing tasks as they fear they will not be able to do them perfectly. Perfectionists may also have difficulty delegating tasks to others as they believe no one will be able to do the job as well as they could.
Perfectionism is often associated with anxiety and depression.
