Agreed. Perfection is lots of little, simple things done well. I've never in my life heard someone call themselves a perfectionist and not be a total fuckup. It's usually an excuse for why they're not doing what they were asked to do.Nine times out of ten, people who call themselves 'perfectionists' are just people who are so result-focused that they become overwhelmed with shame when their initial efforts don't immediately get them what they want. Especially if the feedback that they get (which they always ask for) is anything short of glowing praise. Even mild praise isn't enough for these people.
It's possible to be a healthy perfectionist, but that requires understanding that failure is sometimes part of the improvement process, and that you'll have to dedicate a lot of time to something before you can be considered to be above average, let alone great. For people who get into a hobby because they actually like the hobby, this isn't a problem, because failures give them opportunities to learn more about the subject. Healthy perfectionists are those types who are process-focused rather than result focused, and can recognize that things like criticism or outright failure are part of the process of becoming good at something and don't need to have their ego soothed because everything they did wasn't flawless from the beginning.
Chibi is hopelessly ego-starved and in need of constant validation, so he doesn't care about learning about the hobby or even making genuine connections with fellow hobbyists. He just wants validation (and sex from BPD cosplayer thots, but that too is just another form of validation for him). The second it's clear he isn't going to get the validation he wants, he suddenly realizes his 'presence isn't welcome' and Charlie Brown walks his way out in a last-ditch effort for pity.
That's why Chibi hops from hobby to hobby and messages egirls like a telemarketer making their way through the phone book one number at a time. He's not a 'perfectionist'. He's results-obsessed and has no patience for any process that would let him achieve that result naturally.
As for Adam's campaign to get a girl, I dunno why he's even bothering. A previous girl said he can't perform well and just finishes off in her panties. And, gross, likes the idea of her roleplaying as a giantess. I think he likes the idea of having a sexy, underage-looking e-thot cosplayer as a trophy girlfriend. That'll catapult him into the speedrunning stratosphere. Wings will sprout from his back and he'll no longer be a mom-hating magnet-sucking underappreciated loser. He'll Office Space his way out of AT&T and everything will be fine.
He treats people like used tissues once it's clear he won't get what he wants. He's not reaching out for genuine companionship. Just a status change.
