perfectionism struggles
Self-Esteem / by jwlsearching7

...See more hey friends, I’ve been feeling really isolated in these feelings lately, and I would just like to know if I’m not alone. Does anyone else struggle with perfectionism to a debilitating, spiraling, harmful degree? I have immigrant parents and I’m from an incredibly competitive area where everybody is the next person to race. I was a gifted kid academically, and all my teachers family and friends assigned that role to me for life. I can’t seem to escape it. I have to be perfect in grades, and now in personality, interests, thoughts, etc. I also place this pressure on myself because I don’t know what my identity would be if I failed at these things. Anyways, that’s just a long rant. I’m tired of teetering on this pedestal and slipping every day. Does anyone else relate to low self-esteem due to perfectionism? Does anyone else spiral at the tiniest failure?
