Not saying that's not accurate, but it's basically what you get told by lazy people, no matter if they're perfectionists or not. "Oh, I'd rather do it perfectly than half-assed and right now I just don't have the energy/time/... !"
Oh shit, I could never find the words to describe how I feel until now. I'm not lazy, I just get so mad at myself and demotivated when things don't turn out perfectly. But I will spend hours upon hours sewing or writing or whatever when the right idea gets a hold of me.

You don't sound lazy at all, but rather like someone who is their own strictest critic. That honors you but you should try not to be too excessive with that. Good for you that you can experience the flow of materializing something that's on your mind, something that I envy.
Thank you, I try my best but it sometimes ends up sabotaging my efforts.
I find there's something magical about creating things, whether it's sewing, woodworking, knitting, or even cooking etc. In today's society it feels like a lost art because everyone wants to have a cushy office job nowadays, but making a product out of materials, even if it's just a basic T-shirt, feels wonderful to me, even if most of my "creations" are just thrift flips.
That said your earlier comment about it sometimes being used by lazy people as an excuse is definitely true, I know many people like that.
