I Am a Perfectionist
Maybe it stems from my days as a professional gymnast but I expect a lot from myself.
People say I am too hard on myself and that I expect perfection from myself in impossible situations. I agree that at times I can be a bit hard on myself but at the same time if I'm not, I worry my life will never change and that I will be in the same situation that I am in now in 10 years time. Single, friendless, no social life, still living at home.
It's hard for me to know whether being a perfectionist is a good thing for me or not. Whether it causes problems or brings me benefits. It's something I struggle to know in my head.
