what's just happening here?? I intended to start a serious topic about perfectionism, now it has turned into a perverted one AGAIN! That's something I wouldn't like to see Crying or Very sad

When will we start a really decent topic? is that just a matter of time?

Back on your original topic, you must have pity for the poor insane guy. Imagine the hell of living in his own brain that is borderline obsessive compulsive. He can never find peace. Nothing is ever good enough.

Maybe it is for the best that he cannot find a girl. Imagine if he ever had children. What horrible torture it would be for them! Sad

My friend isn't that psychiatrically disordered yet. But he definitely wouldn't be a tolerant father or husband if he gets married. Yeah, I agree that it's the best for him to never find a girlfriend, in that case, there will be at least one woman who won't suffer from perfectionism.
