Perfectionism can show up at any age, in any context, and for any reason! But there are core features of Perfectionism that never change: Perfectionism is always about having unrealistically high expectations of yourself that are ultimately unattainable, which causes burnout and exhaustion. You try and try but never get to the finish line. Perfectionism is the enemy of self-love, trust, and confidence because you become your worst critic, judging your every move, mistake, or flaw.
