Is it normal to be a perfectionist and clumsy at the same time?

I consider myself to be a perfectionist but I am also clumsy as hell. I try to perfect and organize things but my clumsiness gets the best of me. Its not that I am careless cause I do care but like I said, my clumsiness wins. I realized this more when I started dating my bf cause he's also a perfectionist but he's not clumsy. When we just started talking, I told him I was a perfectionist and it seemed like he felt attracted to that but as the time went by, he eventually was going to see my clumsiness and now idk if he believes I am a perfectionist lol. I kind of wanna ask him like bring it up " blah blah that's why I'm a perfectionist you know ..." And hell giggle cause he knows it's not true or hell agree. Idk tho...if I'm clumsy does that make me not a perfectionist even tho I try hard to be? Or is it normal to be a perfectionist and clumsy at the same time?

    A perfectionist is a perfectionist in mind before anything else. You're allowed to be clumsy. So am I. And I'm a perfectionist.

      Yeah thats what I thought. Being a perfectionist is all in the mind and doesn't mean you are actually perfect but you like perfecting things. So its normal to be clumsy and a perfectionist at the same time. I guess there is also the other side which is being a perfectionist and having OCD and that's what my bf is. He considers himself to be a perfectionist but he actually is organized, which is what made me question my perception of being a perfectionist since I'm not that organized.
