I think I know what you mean. I have a close friend that I'd describe in the same way.
He is a perfectionist, thorough, likely the brightest in my small circle of trusted friends. But you can't let him control the due date. Else, the magic never happens bc he will not act until everything is perfect. 😂😅🤣
Haha, having to have everything perfect no matter how long it takes is a good way to describe me too. But things inevitably end up taking forever to do, but I don't really mind so long as my employer also doesn't mind (which is thankfully the case at the moment) 😂
I can get really blocked when trying to make decisions though, because there's so much to consider and so many factors that go into making the right one. That's where I'm trying to hear and trust my intuition more and be a little more eccentric with how I choose what to do.
Always keep in mind, what you might consider a fault, others would consider a gift or super power.
That same friend is the one I called when I had to have a major procedure from a motorcycle accident. In 8 hours he found the best doctor for that procedure in my area. He basically interviewed that doctor. Then by end of day reports back to me, who he chose and why.
I was running a marathon 9 months after that procedure to rebuild two shattered ankles. All that to say, while these traits at times come across as faults. They are also a super power in other circumstances.
