How Social Media Has Affected Perfectionism

The social pressures are really alarming, and we were expecting to see an increase. We weren't quite expecting the speed. Social media is certainly a major factor here, particularly for young people who have no real escape from pressures to be perfect. But I would also say it's really important to try to challenge, in your own mind, what that kind of perfect version of yourself is and what it means to you. So put yourself in situations where perhaps you don't feel overly comfortable, get out of your comfort zone and see how it works out.
