I agree that it shouldn't be a problem unless it becomes an obsession. I am fairly extreme in my perfectionism and it has been to the detriment of myself and embarrassment of others at times. Somehow I have learnt to control this over the years and I find it a little easier to "let things go" when my perfectionist nature screams out not to.

There is nothing wrong with being a perfectionist although as Doh said, we are often hardest on ourselves.
