What people think perfectionism is: I’m going to do this 1,000 times until it’s completely perfect, and it doesn’t matter how tired I am or how many times I fail. Everything I do is super precise and I have absolute confidence but also am super pedantic about getting it right.
What perfectionism actually is: If I don’t get this right on the first try I’m going to cry in a corner and call myself a failure for the rest of my life. I’ve gotten nothing productive done because of this.
See also: I know I’m never going to get this 100% right, so I’m never even going to try because that would be impossible to deal with.
see also also: im going to keep hemming and hawing about my first try, revising over and over again because i cant bear the thought of any mistakes, and thus never actually finish anything. also im probably attempting something way above my level anyway, so i’ll feel even worse about how difficult it is for me
i feel personally attacked by this relatable content
I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie
Ok but the other one is purring so hard
If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead
Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a ‘big cat’ (or Great Cat) – they are still classified as Lesser Cats.
Also you haven’t heard anything until you hear them cheep.
can you guys reblog this and tag what job you have in your fantasy life? I’m a singer + actress in mine lol
so many people misunderstand this post, I don’t mean your dream job I mean what job do you have inside your head? like in your imaginary world you’ve created
