For years of my life, I thought the standard was perfection. Everything I did, I felt I had to do perfectly. I craved to be the perfect son, boyfriend, student, and athlete, I wanted to be flawless and when a flaw presented itself I resented it. I thought perfection would lead to fulfillment. Sound familiar? Well, colour me fuc*ing pink when I one day woke up and came to the realization that PERFECTION ISN'T REAL and that the search for "perfect" had only ever left me in shambles. Perfectionism is one of the most misrepresented and misunderstood personality traits and goddamnit that stops today. Please help me welcome renowned psychologist and Perfectionism expert Dr. Simon Sherry for a truly perfect talk on perfectionism.
