Deep dives
Understanding the Roots of Perfectionism
Perfectionism often stems from high or unreachable standards set by parents or unrealistic expectations created by comparing oneself to an older sibling. This leads individuals to learn to avoid the pain of falling short and become overly concerned with external opinions. The brain adapts to this situation by shifting attention away from mistakes, hindering the ability to learn and improve.
