The Impact of Perfectionism
Perfectionism can have negative effects on individuals. It leads to a hyper-focus on small details, discourages risk-taking and growth, and fosters rumination and self-shaming. Perfectionists struggle to see the big picture and often feel overwhelmed by the pressure to achieve flawlessness. They may also experience imposter syndrome, constantly doubting their abilities and feeling like they don't belong. Perfectionism can hinder personal growth and limit one's willingness to step out of their comfort zone.
