“I was held captive by perfectionism.”
April 14, 2013//
A short but vivid description of one woman’s struggle.
The writer gets so much right:
- that it’s a trap
- that it often begins in childhood
- In high school: “I sat before my Spanish teacher in tears over a B+.”
- Heavy involvement with ballet, an endeavor that “required excellence.”
- As an adult, a perfectionist approach to housekeeping.
- “Self-worth based on performance and how others perceived me.”
Worth reading.
