If you do not want to go beyond your own rules at work, at home and in your circle of friends, if you expect everyone to comply with your principles and principles, if you waste time on plans, programs and details and cannot spare time for your loved ones, you may have a perfectionist nature. Perfectionist people, who are used to everything going in a certain order, may exhibit behaviors related to depressive or anxiety disorders as their order is disrupted as a result of the significant changes they encounter.
Psychiatrist Dr. Uğur Hatıloğlu gave information about how perfectionism negatively affects people's lives.
- They Explode Anger at Unnecessary Times
Perfectionist people actually do what they do They cannot complete the job because they focus on lists, rules, details and programs, or they finish the job by spending more than the required time and getting tired. Despite the difficulties they experience, they do not give up their same routine because they think that the only way the job can be done is best. If things go out of order, they may not realize their priorities and become indecisive about what to do and how to do it. Even though they get angry more easily when control is out of their hands, they try not to show this in order not to disrupt the work order. This causes the person to accumulate that emotion and may surprise everyone by bursting out in anger in a place where he should never be angry. While they are very compatible with the authority they respect due to their harmony in order, they resist the authority they do not respect (taking things slowly, making excuses every time).
