Don’t Tie Yourself to Perfection

The ideal of perfection demands that everything you do must be flawless. When you make a mistake, you could even feel unworthy, less likable, or like a failure.

A perfectionist believes that imperfection is undesirable and works hard towards achieving perfection. This way of thinking can be detrimental to your health. The idea of perfectionism is meaningless. But when you’re around negative people, that situation can worsen. Because of how harshly they judge both themselves and those around them, it could influence you and cause you to set an unattainable standard for yourself. According to a study, high levels of perfectionism are associated with depression, anxiety, and other negative symptoms.
