Found on my Firefox Pocket articles, a BBC article
The Dangerous Downsides of Perfectionism
Hope this link works
I see a lot of myself in this article, I feel like I'm never good enough because of a lack of major achievements in any area of my life, and I have begun to wonder if perfectionism does hold me back sometimes, because I'm afraid of trying new things, often because I know I will inevitably fail because it's a new thing, yet... that is how we learn (so I'm told) through failure and moving forward despite that
I thought it made many excellent points.
