Perfectionism is a personality trait that turns life into an unending report card on performance or appearance. When it's in good shape, it can inspire you to overcome challenges and succeed. When unhealthy, it can lead to dissatisfaction quickly and persistently.

Extreme perfectionism is harmful because, despite its victims' desire for achievement, their main concern is preventing failure, which leads to a negative outlook. They don't believe in unconditional love and think that receiving love and approval from others depends on doing everything perfectly.
