I don&#x27;t know if I have a perfectionism problem, but I may have a self-improvement problem. I want to get better at everything I do, so I obsess over what the best or different ways of doing X are.<p>Most people agree that perfectionism is a problem, but is self-improvement? It seems to have the same symptoms, constant reevaluation of what I am doing and how I am doing it, constant iteration and insatiable thirst for knowledge.
