Perfectionism isn't always about wanting to be perfect.
Sometimes it's about being AFRAID.
Afraid to fail.
Afraid to disappoint people.
Afraid of criticism.
Afraid of rejection.
Afraid of not being enough.
So perfectionism becomes the strategy:
“If I can do everything perfectly, maybe I won't have to feel that fear.”
But you can't out-perform an unresolved fear.
Eventually the goal isn't to become MORE perfect.
It's to understand what you're afraid will happen if you're NOT. ⚡
