Guilty as described - a "socially prescribed perfectionist." Certainly food for thought and changes to consider. It is a great article, I agree with The Birth of Venus response.

Never something to feel guilty of Janice, I know the struggle! It's pretty normal wanting to meet the expectations of people we love. But it can be difficult sometimes to navigate these feelings. Glad you found the article helpful.

I’ve never thought of myself as a perfectionist because I feel I’m not always perfect and my end results don’t always come out as planned --- but that screams perfectionism 😭😂

This was a great article! Thank you:)

Thank you so much! It can feel like an eternal loop in the mind trying to be perfect and feeling like you are not... Hopefully awareness helps a bit.
