3176: 8 Signs You're A Perfectionist by Mia of She Dreams All Day on Personal Development & Self Help
Optimal Living Daily - Personal Development and Self-Improvement
Signs of Perfectionism and its Impact on Personal Growth
- Growth involves taking action and getting results, not just wanting to improve. The all or nothing mindset leads to intense pressure, categorizing outcomes as either perfect or failure. 2. Perfectionists fear failure and avoid negative emotions like shame and insecurity by staying within their comfort zones. 3. Perfectionists struggle with trust issues due to the fear of losing control over perfect outcomes when relying on others. Letting go of control and trusting others is crucial to overcoming perfectionism. 4. Perfectionists spend time in 'shoulda woulda coulda' land, focusing on what should be done without taking action out of fear of imperfection. 5. Procrastination often goes hand in hand with perfectionism, as perfectionists delay taking action due to fear of uncertain results. 6. Perfectionists would rather give up than do something imperfectly, leading to crushed dreams and wasted time.
