Starting today, we’ll be doing a mini-series on perfectionism. Our aim is to help you identify if you’re a perfectionist or to see the traits that are common in people affected by perfectionism, at the very least. Alongside that, we also want you to know the dangers that come with the condition because it’s really not a very flattering thing, no matter how you see it. Finally, we want to help you work through it if you have this issue.

So, are you a perfectionist? It would be easy to say no because you’re not always looking for things to be perfect. But, it’s a little more complicated than that as perfectionists have a varying array of qualities. Here are some signs you might notice in yourself if you’re a perfectionist.

1. You constantly feel like you can’t do anything right

This is a sad offshoot of your desire to do everything perfectly. Unfortunately, humans aren’t gifted with the ability to be perfect. Nobody really is. So, if you feel the need to be perfect at something, you’ll probably never get to that level. While this is a normal thing for other people, a perfectionist would most likely start feeling sad and incapable of doing things right.

2. You’re a major procrastinator
