me in any face-to-face conversation: am i doing the right face? is this a good face? am i doing eye contact correctly? shit their face changed. should i change my face too. is this the right face
y’all ever get hit with the realization when you’re in the middle of doing something like, whoa, what the fucking shit this is real life. like this is happening right now. not even when its something crazy i mean when you’re like doing the laundry or some shit
its like you get snapped out of autopilot and suddenly everything becomes physically clearer and louder
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
