At the core of perfectionism is anxiety. Insecure attachment in childhood creates this adaptive survival coping mechanism. Largely subconscious, it must be made conscious. And I mean the feeling of it. The true deep feeling.

I am the worst at this now. Don't know when I started striving for perfectionism. Before I was fine as long as I tried my hardest and my best. I know that I wouldn't be good at things at first and would improve with time and practice. Now I will think myself into not doing anything because I tell myself I have to plan for every scenario, if something comes up that I did not plan for or anticipate, then I tell myself that I am stupid. Another major problem is thinking that I have to do things right the first time. It has helped reading some complete biographies of greats in their fields and all the trips, stumbles and failures they suffered along the way to becoming great. I still tell myself that the reason I am not good is not from lack of practice or experience, but just that I have no talent and that I just suck. I know now from talking to my therapist that a good part of it is from my childhood and my dad pushing me to always be the best and the first and berating me if I wasn't. For years those effects did not manifest themselves. I had a rather laid back approach at trying something new. Now it this search for perfection keeps me from enjoying activities I loved and from trying new things. Like the new haircut. :-)

Thanks for this video Julia. I’m a perfectionist and struggle with all of this, and have been all my life. More so now that I’m depressed and have to cope with social anxiety...as someone else mentioned for me at least, it’s rooted in childhood because no matter what I did or how well I did, it was never good enough for my mom who was a teacher. I tell my self that I like to be prepared, it it’s all a cover for the fear of not being good enough or to suck therefor I’m dumb and I shouldn’t even be trying as you said. It’s all in our heads. Same with being a control freak. Been depressed for the past 3-4 years due to injuries and stress that the depression is a result of. Bullied all my life. I couldn’t take it anymore both mentally and physically with all the pressure and discrimination. I tried to start something new like a language course, even nail tech school (I’m a hairdresser and a MUA), but I quit after 1-2 weeks. I blamed the depression, but after listening to this, it’s also partly due tot he fear of not being good enough, and of course in the beginning when learning new things, it’s always hard and difficult until you get the hang of it. It takes time, tho I got zero patience. I guess it’s also because I’m used to be doing things that I’m good at or know what I’m doing. So when I felt that I sucked, I told my self this is not for me...only a genius or those with a natural talent would be good at their 1st try lol. Btw your new hair cut really suits you Julia. Even a long or asymmetrical bob would be fire.

One of the core reasons for full control is having certainty. Most people like the comfort of certainty. Yet, we forget the joy of new things that come from left field. Learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, as this is the time to learn what is important to us, who we are and potentially other people around us.

Thank you so so much, now I can work my ways out of my depression now that I know how to solve the root and causes of it (I've been know the causes for a huge while now, I just can't find the right advise to apply to my current situation, or it's just too general I can't relate) Thank you!!

I think another (and most basic) lie is that doing something perfect will make you happy. That's what I find in myself a lot, and can lead to me spending twice as long on simple tasks (e.g. staining the deck) than most people. I can recognize it's not rational, and its not like my mind is telling me there are any particular reasons it's important to be perfect, but just this sense that it has to be done and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if it isn't perfect, but just once I get this done then I will be happy.

I can relate so completely. I seem incapable of doing things "half-arsed" and detest being put in the position of having to output anything less than my absolute best. I then stand back and admire my work afterwards with such a strong sense of achievement and self worth. If I begin to offer up anything that's not my all, I can't claim any sense of achievement and can't help wondering what's the point in doing it if I can't feel good afterwards. (But also that good feeling never really lasts very long or satisfies.) Then I lose all self worth too. Such a crappy cycle to challenge.

I'm constantly watching the way I speak, the way I walk, the way I dress. Even the people I choose to spend my time with. Because It never feels enough for some people, I continue to stress over every little thing in an attempt to make people happy. The reality of it is, I'm not happy. I feel that I'm missing out so much in life, but I'm too scared to do anything about it for fear of being seen as something less than best.

I really love all your videos.They are more then insightful they are actually liberating.Years ago I use to worry about what others thought of me.And I used to always have to plan all my stuff out.Meaning thinking too far ahead in the future. But life seems to have obstacles and when it would hit.I would have to think of new planning and it would be so stressful all I would do is worry worry worry.Of course I would get the stuff done anyways. So basically I would have worried for nothing lol.And it did cause me so much unnecessary anxiety sad to say.For the past year I stopped planning my future out.And it seems like a load off my chest to no longer live that way.It's just as you say.... And I would plan things out I don't want to call exactly accordingly as planned it was kind of painful.All the planning to have to redirect my energy in a new way. Not only worried me to the core.But it also drained me when I could have been enjoying so much more.Now when I speak I don't even think.I just let it flow freely rather I'm right and wrong.But now no longer consumed with the worries about what I should have or shouldn't have said.I don't have to sleep with the fact of stress by not getting it off my chest. Because if people don't like me I no longer care.Because I know who I am now and how good of a person I truly am within my heart. And if others can't see that I'm no longer worried.Because I'm the type to accept people for who they are.Unless of course they disrespect me or go against my morals then that's a different story. But other than that I feel free....and I can tell over the years that people seem to think that something was wrong with me.But coming across your videos lets me see that I am only human....when all others have failed me and wanted me to believe I was crazy for being me.Yet none of these people ever walked around with any degrees lol.So I just wanted to thank you for all the videos that you post. Of showing people how to accept theirselves.And always giving your Keen advice to change many other things.You truly are a blessing to us all.Keep up the great work because you truly are a major asset to us all 🙂

Perfectionism in psychology told me the lie that it's simple: be perfect, the other perfectionism is way more complicated, but when I was that psychological perfectionist it was complicated, it was difficult, I made mistakes and wasn't happy with them, it took me years as a child to make sure everything is perfect and succeeded, when I succeeded people were saying "you're not perfect", wrong! I took years to make it perfect, it's an effort, but then later in life I learned anti-perfectionism, also complicated, and my smart brain can translate anti-perfectionism, I was amazed at the results: I felt dirty and I was happy about it, it wasn't so smooth, it wasn't so clean, and I felt happy with this, and took pride in the development of smartness that works: that people started to like me for who I was, nobody likes a perfectionist, but I can tell you perfectionism is addictive, you grew up with it all your life. :)

There were a few times since recently and a few years ago, when I was uncomfortable and upset because I was trying to control everything, I was even trying to force reality to change, it changed alright but not in a good way, it turned out very bad, but I learned that reality can't be forced, and in pursuit of reality creation I'm trying to figure out changes in my life that will work, which requires you to solve problems and prevent future problems from happening (based on past experience, yep, appeal to experience, yet it's true that experience teaches you to stop making mistakes). I haven't made any mistakes, I check my work, check my spelling to make sure it's absolutely perfect, I have a good life, but not during brain medicine, I have to quell that mistake before it takes over my life. I don't stress about the past, and I don't procrastinate, people scream at whatever's perfect, so give them a perfect round seedless bun and see if it will drive people crazy.

Perfectionism is an illusion To begin with = give yourself a break learn grow and gain knowledge as knowledge is power not control but personal power

Trying to be perfect will always hold you back, your fear of failure will prevent you from moving forward, it's ok to make some mistakes, most successful people have failed numerous times.

I’ve always been labeled a perfectionist, but this interpretation of perfectionism is not how I identify. I’m not afraid to learn and try things I know nothing about, and I often don’t take people’s opinions personally. I just like to make things pretty when I can and get joy from finding better ways of doing things compared to how I did them before-a lot of people call that perfectionism, and I normally felt proud of being a “perfectionist.”

True perfection seems imperfect. But is perfectly itself.

Omg! I am having perfectionism! Comes as a surprise a bit. I am a hoarder and since my husband died 4 years ago I haven't cleaned our flat, just let it go. Not only am I totally overwhelmed by it but I 'know' that I can't do it (as that would involve getting rid of physical things I don't need or use or know I have, that were important then) and the lack of motivation comes from wanting the flat to be as perfect as it was when he was alive. How can you be a hoarder and a perfectionist? The mind boggles. I really do think: I can't, so I won't even try as it's not going to be perfect, so why bother? Oh dear!

Frustrating as it is I chose a perfectionism without the mediocrity, without the stress, the only thing I find to be overthinking isn't perfectionism, but ultraextremism (being too extreme is overthinking). :)

I think fear causes most of our human behaviour. Its the tribalism, the competition makes us think in like a tunnel vision where the fear prevents us from being open-minded to failure ect, because the fear limits our thinking

YES..."Get out of your head & get into your life " is a life changing idea. People-pleasing doesn't work because others seem to please themselves & use a caring person as a door mat. Q: How can you be a nice guy & not be a walk over? ...how can you proceed with something you want to do & not suffer the guilt trip of "selfishness"?

Are you asking me Deryck? If you are, you need to take my Healthy Boundaries Bootcamp in-depth program and this is EXACTLY the core of what the program teaches. We just closed registration, but will be opening it again sometime before Christmas. Are you on my mailing list?
