“I like everything super neat and organized and I work really hard and do my best on every task I’m such a perfectionist Haha :D”

No. That is not perfectionism. That is healthy and wonderful, you go mate. Perfectionism can look incredibly messy and below average lazy.

Perfectionism can look like the PERFECT notes like fresh out of the printer the first week of the semester and after one day you couldn’t keep up with taking pretty notes the rest becomes a pile of loose papers in the most unreadable handwriting all over the place. Perfectionism can look like PERFECT grades, straight A’s until you get a B once and from that point on just not caring about that class at all anymore and your grades getting worse and worse. Perfectionism can be getting really excited about an interesting assignment, planning the PERFECT presentation/essay/…that would blow everyone away, not getting that done in time and instead of turning it into something absolutely adequate not handing in anything at all and having to deal with the consequences. Perfectionism is never participating in class because if your answer is not PERFECT then it’s not worth saying at all.

Perfectionism is having the most PERFECT detailed images in your head but never actually starting any project because you know you’d never reach that. Perfectionism is finally starting a thing, being so excited and proud of yourself but once a tiny mistake happens the whole thing is ruined for you, suddenly it feels completely worthless and you abandon it. Perfectionism isn’t cute and funny. It is paralyzing. It robs you of the opportunity to start somewhere and get better. It sabotages your growth. It prevents you from learning to deal with mistakes. It sucks the joy out of things you love. It is crippling fear of criticism and inadequacy. And it takes incredibly hard work to unlearn and rethink.

But please do that work, it is so worth it, I promise! I want to see what you’ve got stored up in that amazing mind of yours and what you are capable of.
