NOTE

Perfectionism is Fear's Mask

Perfectionism is rooted in the fear of inadequacy, failure, judgment, and rejection. Many individuals hold back from sharing their work, believing it must be perfect, which is an unattainable goal. This mindset leads to paralysis and avoidance, with the misguided hope that waiting for perfection will protect them from pain and disappointment. In reality, the desire for absolute perfection hinders progress, as individuals often find flaws in their work after completion, leading to an endless cycle of self-criticism. Embracing imperfection is essential to overcoming these fears and moving forward.
