Now, the thing with perfectionism is
is that it sounds very altruistic.
It's like, you know, who doesn't want to be perfect?
I just want to make sure it's the best it can be.
It's almost like a self, you know, acknowledging I'm doing the right thing.
But there is no perfectionism.
Perfectionism is the lowest standard because it's unattainable.
Evolution hasn't finished.
So if nature isn't perfect yet, why do you think we should be?
So what really is perfectionism?
I'll tell you.
The real language is I'm scared of screwing up-isms.
So it's got to be right.
Otherwise, it has its basis more in fear of rejection, like shy.
Shy is a racket because I'm just introverted.
I'm shy.
No, you're not.
You're running a pattern that says, please don't let you discover me because I'm scared of your judgment.
That's the reality.
Now, I'm not judging them for that.
