What is perfectionism?

Perfectionism is a personality trait characterised by a relentless pursuit of flawlessness and a high level of self-criticism. Individuals with perfectionism often have excessively high standards for themselves and others, and may struggle with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt when they fall short of their expectations. This trait can have both positive and negative impacts on an individual's life.

Some common characteristics of perfectionism include:

1. High standards: Perfectionists often have very high standards for themselves, and they may set unrealistic goals that are difficult or impossible to achieve.
2. Self-criticism: Perfectionists are often highly self-critical and may be their own harshest critics, even when others view their work as excellent.
3. Fear of failure: Perfectionists may have a strong fear of failure, and this fear can sometimes prevent them from taking risks or trying new things.
4. Procrastination: Sometimes, perfectionists may struggle with getting started on tasks because they feel overwhelmed by the idea of doing something perfectly.
5. Black-and-white thinking: Perfectionists may see things in very black-and-white terms, believing that something is either perfect or a failure.
6. Difficulty accepting praise: Even when others praise a perfectionist's work, they may still focus on what they perceive as flaws or imperfections.

Perfectionism can be a positive trait when it is channeled constructively, leading to high achievement and excellence in a particular area. However, when perfectionism becomes extreme or rigid, it can lead to negative consequences, such as anxiety, depression, burnout, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships.
