The Willingness to Accept
"Oh no, that's stupid. How could you do it like that, it has to be like this and this, not that." For a single problem, there are many ways to solve. However, some people's perfectionism doesnt allow them to do the contrary. For example, after trials and errors, they found that "one" solution that's the most effective and efficient. Then, they ignore the other trials that they made before, in such way that they say, "oh, that's wrong." instead of "oh, that's not as effective as what I'm doing now." Yes, both are rejecting, but converting mindset from the latter to the former, is the biggest error they made.
Lets recall, we mentioned that there are lots of ways to solve a single problem. That means, even if the solution isnt as effective and/or efficient as the one you're currently using, it still solves the problem. Some people may choose not to directly use the most effective/efficient solution, especially if its not as easy as something of the lesser. In physics, you can see this in F = ma law being used more than Einstein's formula. In other worlds, newbies may choose to learn from the beginning and hence trample along the path that you went before finding out it isnt that effective. However, what I see is people see what they used to do as a "mistake", hence punishing those people that tries to learn and want them to jump immediately to the end: the most efficient solution. What this only teaches is someone whom only understand "we should use the best solution" but don't understand why nor how the solution is the best, since we define a better/best solution based on comparison, and no comparison, nothing is the best, only "no choice".
Irregardless, you might have encounter what mentioned above in work or daily life. The worse why one wrote this article, because one encounted it in games! Can you imagine, a game is something for you to waste your time on and relax, enjoy; and they make it like a workplace where it put extra stress to your life instead of a haven to release/numb your stress.
Anyway, let's state a few examples one heard and encountered. For example, there was a friend of friend, whom only eats "good food". So when my friend brought him/her to a market and eat, it disgusts. He/she just couldn't find "good food" in the restaurant that meets his/her baseline expectation. But in that country, "good food" is much rarer to encounter than find a shop that looks decent and can sit down and call something. So, with "no choice", he/she is forced to eat less-than-good food. Another example, another friend of friend used to only sit at the back of a car, so it becomes a habit. Even if there are only 2 people, the preference is driver + someone at the back of the car. Or perhaps the driver wants to speak to the person but he/she only wants to sit behind the car so the sound have to echo to the back rather than to the side. Or for other reasons. Untimately its not that bad, just awkward. But you get what I mean by seeing the "front seat" as not a choice that could be taken. And in the former, streetside food is generally considered "inedible".
Is this habit changeable? Of course yes; but only with a willingness to accept change. If the person is calling a less-than-effective solution "stupid" or "cannot be done", then one see its more of "the person's problem" than a "you problem". Trying to be clever and unable to accept something decent, the situation stays where it is. Unless the person changes himself (which you can't do anything about it, cause you can only change yourself), otherwise, it's considered unchangeable. And what means change? A willingness to accept something less than effective/efficient.
