Do you enjoy it? If so, maybe consider a role where this is a key contribution. It sounds like at some level, you're good at it and naturally inclined to think this way. If you enjoy it lean into it and be excellent.

Where things get difficult is if you're trying to be a founder/creator and you have perfectionist thinking. That gets you into a negative cycle where you're neither productive (velocity) or satisfied with quality. You have to learn to detach yourself from judgement and focus on actions that drive more important outcomes.
