WHAT DOES PERFECTIONISM LOOK LIKE?
- Perfectionism gets in the way of living your life to the fullest.
- Perfectionism pushes you to set impossibly high standards for yourself and sometimes for others.
- Anything less than perfect is unacceptable.
- You believe that you should get it right from the very first try and that you should never make mistakes or show any flaws.
- You may end up in great distress when you don’t live up to your expectations. What’s intended to be a way to avoid pain ends up the very thing that causes it.
- Perfectionism is the drive to achieve more and be more.
- Perfectionism is often perceived as a strength and a way to accomplish great things and avoid criticism.
