Learn to deal with your own 'perfectionism' - both 'inner directed' and 'outer directed' Join my joke about:
"Gifted Means: Never having to say 'It's good enough.'" ((Love Story Reference)
I love how you are able to describe perfectionism. I get weird looks if I mention being a perfectionist as lot of thing (especially our house) is less than perfect, ppl don't understand that I demand something so perfect that it is not possible so I then just try to forget the whole thing. This leads to messy house but as I'm never content with it I never invite anybody.
One of the problems with being gifted (yes, you dear) is that we remember every wrong so intensely. Then we set out to correct all these wrongs for our child(ren) and drive everyone around us nuts.
Yes LOL I'm even driving myself crazy at work as I think others have horrible memory and can not recall anything. I remember what was said in every meeting I have attended and I feel horrible upset if I need to explain something to others. My boss seems to be bit afraid of my memory. I'm definitely driving family nuts with this "gifted thing".
ps. I'm using the same disclaimer than pp
