The Impact of Perfectionism
Perfectionism can have detrimental effects on individuals. It leads to a hyperfocus on small details instead of seeing the bigger picture. Perfectionists often engage in rumination and harsh self-criticism rather than practicing self-compassion. They tend to stay within their comfort zones, avoiding risks and challenges that could lead to growth. This mindset prevents them from embracing failure and learning from mistakes. The rise of perfectionism may be attributed to increasing parental expectations and criticism, driven by a competitive and zero-sum mentality in society.
