Signs You May Be Struggling with Perfectionism
- Do you set extremely high standards for yourself—and still feel like you’re falling short?
- Have you sacrificed rest, relationships, or even your well-being in the pursuit of success?
- When you reach a goal, do you feel proud—or do you immediately focus on the next thing?
- Does the fear of making a mistake ever feel bigger than the satisfaction of getting it right?
- Do you appear accomplished on the outside but still feel like it’s never enough on the inside?
If these questions resonate, you may be caught in the exhausting cycle of perfectionism—where achievement doesn’t lead to fulfillment, and the pressure to perform never lets up.
