Perfectionism, in psychology, is a belief that perfection can and should be attained. In its pathological form, perfectionism is a belief that work or output that is anything less than perfect is unacceptable.
Someone has told me before that I am a perfectionist. I guess that's very true.
The way I solo projects (well, maybe not so much these days...), feel so pissed when things don't go smoothly, the way I can't take a joke (I'm seriously starting to worry if I have Apserger's Syndrome...), the way I'm just waaaaaay to serious for anyone's liking... my high expectations... the list just goes on and on.
I guess it really would be fascinating to sit down 1 day with a physcologist and examien what caused this perfectionism, what other bad character traits do I have... etc.
But what will that achieve? Nothing.

6.20am in the morning. A packed bus 293, the latest "model" of buses which are wheelchair friendly, arrives at a bus stop in tampines.
People squeeze in, and unfortunately, the boy finds himself at the end of the "queue" of people entering the bus. He tries to get in, and in the end his bag gets caught in the door. The bus driver is giving him a pissed look.
The boy gets off the bus. He sees that everyone is literally crowding in the "standing area" of the bus. No one has the intiative or mental capability to step into the "sitting area" and stand there. there's a nice, empty looking space over there, as if taunting the boy for his inability to get on that frigging bus.
The boy feels pissed. With a 'WTH!@!??" he waits for the next bus to come, hoping that the people inside that bus will be cleverer this time.
MORAL OF THE STORY: THERE'S NO GIANT SEA MONSTER/ FLYING SPAGETTI MONSTER IN THE SITTING AREA. JUST MOVE IN ,FOR GODNESS SAKE!!!! D:

The boy is on a packed 31 bus, right after school. As expected, the bus is crowded with students from all schools around Marine Parade.
The bus driver suddenly shouts, "Please move in. Please have consideration for others."
Everyone grugindly moves in.
The bus driver is pissed, everyone's pissed, the boy feels freakingly embarrassed. Some people just need to go through an "Ettiquite in Buses" course.
