I used to be a perfectionist and I realized nothing is perfect and I hav started to take pride in my flaws. Lately though when things start to get too good I find ways to mess it up. Usually when I get too happy I come down and I come down hard so I prefer being level and just being laid back. Is this normal?

    Yeah, there are plenty of names for it; self-sabotage, fear of flying, etc. I'm not as bad any more because I took some time to work out why I did it.

    That's ridiculous.

    It's normal that when things get close to being perfect to mess it up. Sadly I do that all the time.
