It’s a disease.
I can’t help it.
I have to be right.
I crave perfection.
I am not a know-it-all;
I just like to be correct.
Pardon me if I take pride in showing my intellect.
When others are better than me,I get upset.
My throat feels like it’s closing when I get an A minus on a test.
When they find a cure,I’ll change my direction,
but for now I have to be right.I crave perfection.

I am a self-diagnosed perfectionist. I don't do it for attention. I just am.
