I share thoughts and personal experiences inspired by these two quotes from Brene Brown:
“Perfectionism is a self-destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, and do everything perfectly, I can avoid or minimize the painful feelings of shame, judgment, and blame.”
and... “Health striving is self-focused: ”How can I improve”? Perfectionism is other-focused: ”What will they think?”
Hope you enjoy! :)
