Yes! ‘Perfect’ is an exterior perception. Any piece of art of media you consider perfect the authors definitely don’t. Nothing seems perfect when you are on the ‘process’ side of it rather than the ‘finished product’ because you are privy to all the things it might have been!

I just hate recording something and listening to it. Live is fine- that's the moment and won't be over and over and over. But my recording skill is bad so they all sound gross (to me, others seem to like them).

Problem is, I think all my first drafts are perfect.

Haha, this is another instinct to nuke as a no first draft has ever been good in the history of time, more or less.

And if it helps, you can frame the conception of your work in a way that justifies imperfection. E.g. I had a tough time drawing. So I started a journal for a D&D game, and it totally makes sense that my character's on-the-run journal would be subpar, so now I'm drawing more!

Is this a seventh-chakra thing? Like, needing to let go of attachment while maintaining your passion for the thing you want to bring into the world? It feels like that sometimes. :/

An artist I follow has a great way of looking at it. Creating is a marathon, you have to enjoy running. If you only care about the end result, you're gonna have a bad time.

Also... if it is a format that allows it, learn to see the beauty in mistakes/imperfections. When I could see and was a graphic designer, I would often make a wrong click or my hand would twitch while drawing and I learned to not instantly delete but consider it, often made beter

Thing is a struggle with this too. I understand it could not be perfect. But after over a decade of working in a type of work I generally always have to leave projects when I know they could be better but simply put I no longer have the time to invest to continue to shape it so.
