I need to stop being a perfectionist.
Perfecting projects is a serious time-consumer, mood-killer, and joy-sucker.

Sounds like a post I could have written! 😉
I think that’s one of the reasons why I’ve never even come close to attempting NaNoWriMo: because one month isn’t long enough to write a novel and make it PERFECT, which is what I always want to do.

Sounds like me!
It’s not so much I like getting everything perfect, but I like being 100% right.
It is a very bad weakness of mine that I’m working to get out of before it becomes a problem in college.

Yep. I am exactly like you. I like being right, I usually am right, and I take great pride in telling people so. 😀 It takes time to break a habit. Good luck!

I get upset and sometimes even angry when things don’t go my way. Although I like to believe my way is typically the better way. 😛 No problem.

Nobody is perfect as the saying goes. Perfect is just an idiomatic expression. What is perfect to you might not be perfect to others. Just stick to what you believe in.

True true. Perfection is relative. Mmhmm you make a good point there.
