Perfectionism becomes a badge of honor with you playing the part of the suffering hero.

It can be helpful simply to make a written or mental list of the things you do each day. Then give yourself a mental credit for each of them, however small. This will help you focus on what you have done instead of what you haven't gotten around to do. It may sound simplistic, but it works.

The best way to confront your fears it to stop avoiding the situation you're most afraid of.

When two people respect each other, the ability to be vulnerable and to reveal hurt feelings can create a powerful emotional connection that is the source of real intimacy and friendship.

Reaching for the stars, perfectionists may end up clutching air. They suffer from mood disorders, troubled relationships, and stress. They may even achieve less than others.

Don't apologize for what you think you did wrong. Apologize for what they think you did wrong.

You're not a bad person. But you sometimes do bad things. You know what that makes you? Human.
