To be a perfectionist
and to be pessimistic
Two different ways of living
But could they go hand in hand?
As a perfectionist you want perfection
You want everything in it's place
You want order and cleanliness
To be pessimistic
To see the worst side of things
To focus on the flaws of a person
Or a situation
Or a place
But when perfectionism gets out of hand, could it lead to being pessimistic?
When being perfect leads you to looking for flaws so that they can be more perfect, is that setting you on a path to being pessimistic?
When as humans, perfection lies beyond our reach,
can that discouragement lead to being a pessimist, or being negative because perfection is so decidedly out of our reach?
Seeing disgusting when truly many people have much worse
Comment and tell me your thoughts on my theory
