5 Surprising Causes of Perfectionism That Make You Miserable

Have you ever wondered: why am I such a perfectionist? Why can't I stop doing things until they are perfect? You're not alone. 🤗 Perfectionism can feel like a never-ending cycle of stress, self-doubt, and pressure. But what causes perfectionism? Where does it come from? 🤔 In this video, we break down psychology of perfectionism: 5 roots of unhealthy perfection that mess up your life. 🚩 Cause #1: Low Self-Esteem It's that voice in your head telling you: "If I don't do this perfectly, I'm a failure." Sound familiar? Many perfectionists struggle with deep-seated self-doubt: they feel like their worth is tied to how well they perform. The more you chase perfection, the worse your confidence gets. 📱 Cause #2: Social Media You wake up, grab your phone, and start scrolling. Your coworker just got back from Bali. Your friend landed their dream job. An influencer is flaunting their perfect body. And suddenly… you feel behind. 😞 Social media sets unrealistic standards, making it seem like everyone else has their life together: except you. But here's the truth: it's a highlight reel, not reality. 👨‍👩‍👧 Cause #3: High Parental Expectations Did your parents only praise you when you got straight A's? 🏆 Did they push you to be "the best" and make you fear failure? If so, you might have learned that love and approval are conditional: only given when you succeed. This creates crippling pressure to never make mistakes. 😰 🧠 Cause #4: Genetics & Personality Traits Ever wondered if you were born a perfectionist? 🧐 Science says your genes and personality play a role. People high in conscientiousness, neuroticism, and sensitivity to criticism are more prone to perfectionism. 💼 Cause #5: Career & Academic Pressure Ever spent way too long tweaking a project that was already "done"? 🤯 Stayed up late obsessing over a tiny detail? Many workplaces and schools reward perfectionism: but at a cost. Fear of failure and imposter syndrome can make you feel like you always have to overachieve. So, which cause do you relate to the most? Watch the video to see what caused my perfectionism!
