Nice to meet you

Well, I'm a procrastinator. This most definitely includes posting on this forum.  The only way I convinced myself to do it was the promise that I wouldn't change signle word, not even a typo. Becuasre then I'd get to editing, and reediting, until it was perfect, or I'd just decide not to post it becuase it wasn't perfect and I couldn't get it to be.

I most definitely deprive myself of sleep, food, all those things. I'm a straight A student...well, I was until today, bit that's an entirely differeny story.

When I get home, on a normal day, I just do who knows what with my time. While thinking about everything I have to do, and how it isn't getting done. I eventually do it somehwere near 2/3 in the morning. I wake up every morning at 4/5. Ebvryone tells me that this isn't healthy, but there really isn't much I can do. I love the list from DA and the other one on the first poage of the sight. It's me. I'm trying to think of an example...Maybe you'll get one later. ;)

I hardly ever start the things I finish unless I have to, and I hate it when people rely on me, yet I can't seem to say no when people ask for help./ I think it's a form of self denial. I always get their things done, also/ I do it to prove to myself that I can...I think it's that other people simplky assume that I will that helps me. That's why I think posting what I plan on doing on this site will help me.

I'm an extremely disorganized writer, but again, if I got to editing, I wouldbn't ever stop. At some point I might rejion this site with a new name becuase I cna't live with the knowledge of how badly i did.

Right, I know that's an awful introduction, but I can't get myslef to do anything more on it right now. Thanks for reading this. Now...to press the submit button...(i didn't mange before)

Welcome!

Perfectionism and the tendency to overcommit and underperform . . . yep, that sounds VERY familiar lol.  You've come to the right place.
