Perfectionism

Perfectionism can create ongoing pressure to meet extremely high standards, often accompanied by harsh self-criticism, self doubt, and a fear of mistakes. This mindset can lead to stress, burnout, and challenges in embracing self-worth, making it harder to experience ease or mental clarity in daily life.
