i mean the way i see things most people seem perfectly fine with "barely functional" so the bar is basically nonexistent.

if you just try to improve yourself constantly you're gonna be hilariously ahead of the curve.

Counterpoint: I'll simply give up if I can't do it perfect right away. That'll surely fill the gaping hole in my soul.

I blame Yoda for their "do or do not; there is no try" maxim.

The same moment I stop being right I start to learn.

I don't have a problem with perfectionism IRL.

But the minute it's a video game? I must be perfect and I also dramatically shift to Machiavellian thinking. Everything in the game is specifically for my benefit. Every item belongs to me. And if killing an NPC will give me more power, that dude is dead.

There was a 'courage the cowardly dog' episode about this exact thing

I understand that being comfortable in one's own skin means being comfortable with being average, but... Can't I also be amazing and the best and like, so cool? Why can't I be well adjusted and also perfection incarnate?

A lot of NPD moments in these comments. Glad that social media is finally accepting discussion about narcissistic thoughts.

This is the real reason the Emperor's Children fell to Chaos
