The Ultimate Source for Self Understanding

what is a perfectionist

A perfectionist is someone who expects much more from himself beyond the normal standards, he usually sets very high standards for himself that he never meet and so ends up with a degraded self confidence. example of perfectionist's standards can be:

• ill never make mistakes
• everyone shoud love me
• ill score 100 percent at all exams
• i should be perfect

based on that way of thinking,when the perfectionist makes a mistake he thinks of it as a very shameful situation and so this causes more damage to his self confidence. The perfectionist takes into consideration everything except for one thing, he forgot that he is a human being, and that human beings usually make mistakes.

In the Solid Self confidence program i explained how perfectionism is one of the main reasons for lack of self confidence. The perfectionist strives for perfection all the time and with every failure his self confidence degrades.

but shouldn't i try to be perfect?

When we say you should not be a perfectionist we don't say that you shouldn't try to get the best out of yourself, but you should do your best and know that as humans we can't be perfect, we make mistakes, we can be clumsy sometimes and we may not look like super models but still we have lots of other good qualities.

It's worth mentioning that usually perfectionists suffer from inferiority complexes and that's why they try to be perfect in order to cover their feelings of being inferior to others.
