The Science Of Overcoming Perfectionism | Thomas Curran
10% Happier with Dan Harris
Exploring the Mental Health Effects of Perfectionism
Perfectionism can have detrimental effects on mental health by leading to social disconnection and vulnerability to setbacks. The social disconnection model of perfectionism causes individuals to distance themselves from others due to fear of judgment, resulting in loneliness and mental health issues. Moreover, tying self-esteem to perfection makes individuals extremely sensitive to making mistakes, leading to harsh self-criticism, plummeting self-esteem, and prolonged rumination over errors. Perfectionism can result in various mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, body image issues, and self-presentational concerns, making it a trans-diagnostic risk factor for multiple negative outcomes.
