There are many factors that can lead you to develop a perfectionist personality. In fact, this is often referred to as “perfectionist syndrome”. or “Ananchastic Personality Disorder. “
Some experts believe that the cause of being a perfectionist may be a genetic predisposition.
On the other hand, other experts believe that several environmental factors have a significant influence:
Since our birth we have been exposed to continuous stimuli that will mark us for the rest of our lives, even if we do not believe it, we are very influenced by the environment and having lived one of the previous situations has its consequences.
The society in which we live by its rules, its laws, its ways, its way of seeing life, makes us want to be better than others.
Being a failure is not well seen. The company believes that true happiness lies in success. But can we really live with this pressure? This is where being a perfectionist starts to be a problem
“Is success learning to move from one failure to another without despair?”
? Winston Churchill?
Be right in everything, do things right, don’t stray, none of this is better than anyone. Think, for example, that the harder you strive to be a perfect person, the less you are.
People are not perfect and we have to assume our imperfections as something that makes us who we really are.
Only when we embrace imperfection can we achieve perfect happiness, because forcing ourselves to be something that we are not will not make us happy, on the contrary, we will become frustrated, we will be stressed.
But how’s a perfectionist’s daily life going?To begin with, we will say that they live with low self-esteem, so much so that even the compliments of others will not satisfy them with their work.
Guilt, pessimism and obsession are three words that define them perfectly, they will never get what they want, because absolute perfection is impossible to achieve.
This can often cause them to accidentally fall into depression, as disappointments and frustrations happen.
They become very few flexible and spontaneous people, naturalness is no longer part of it and makes them rigid.
As with many other syndromes, perfectionism must also be overcome as long as the person is aware that this attitude does not lead him to achieve happiness.
When the person is aware that he has a problem, that this need to seek perfection is the result of the pressure to which he has been subjected, he is ready to take the step towards acceptance.
It is true that trying to improve is something very positive, we must all learn to be better, but we must never fall into terrible perfection.
We must embrace imperfection, give everything we have to do things in the best way possible, but without obsessing about trying to achieve something that doesn’t really exist.
