Perfectionism is rooted in a deep-seated belief of being a bad person, leading individuals to adhere to absolute standards of goodness. This mindset restricts the ability to consider the needs of others and leads to making choices that may appear good but can ultimately be harmful. Decisions are often messy, and the binary perception of good vs. bad can lead to unhealthy lifestyles, like workaholism, while ignoring mental health and personal relationships. A moral approach requires acknowledging the complexities of choices and their impacts on others.
Perfectionism is often a reaction to a deep-seated feeling of being a bad person, where actions are judged based on an absolute standard of goodness.
Absolute perfectionism hinders us from recognizing the complex needs of others, as it focuses solely on an individual’s unyielding standards.
Morality should involve understanding how our decisions affect others, which means balancing our own demands with the consideration of others' viewpoints.
The inclination to view success as synonymous with goodness can lead to negative outcomes, including burnout and strained personal relationships.
