I think that one of the hardest things is about growing up is what we think were suppose to be. Forever, I always had this picture in my head of what I needed to be, and it caused me so much stress. I always felt like I needed to get good grades, look good, look the right ways, hang out with the right kind of people, listen to the right kind of music, and I always putting so much pressure on myself to be that right person. What I never thought though was that this was causing me more stress, I just thought I was making myself the best self I good be- I meant that doesn't sound like a bad thing right? But for me it was. I put wayyy too much pressure on my self and it ended up causing me to become really stressed and even depressed for a little while. But it wasn't until my depression got bad enough that I needed to get help for it that I realized what I was doing to my self. The idea of achieve perfection was literally doing the opposite- it was making unhappy and unhealthy. While I use to think I was one of the few that felt this way, I have found that a lot of my friends have felt that way, and even went through a similar stage in their life. And I have to say that was one of the most helpful thing in dealing with my perfectionism. So thats why I wrote this, is so if someone else out there is stressed out because they feel thus way, maybe it will them like it helped me to know that theres someone else out there who went through this. Also, if you want more information i've attached some links below that I think have some helpful information on how to help fight perfectionism
