Perfectionism is a growing epidemic. Studies among North American teens show that 3 in 10 exhibit some sort of unhealthy perfectionism. It is also life-endangering\\u2014those with higher scores on perfectionism are more likely to die younger.

Perfection is an impossible goal\\u2014you only set yourself up for failure and suffering. That\\u2019s the paradox of perfectionism. The more you try to win someone else\\u2019s validation, the worse you become.

Experts have found that perfectionism is more than an attitude or excess attention to detail\\u2014it has become a way of life that creates and amplifies mental issues. It\\u2019s a clear signal that we have a problematic relationship with our sense of self.

Affirmation: \\u2026.I seek progress over perfection and community over competition.
