Perfectionism

Slip Psychology

Perfectionism isn’t just high standards — it’s the constant pressure to get things right, avoid mistakes, and meet expectations. You may achieve a lot, yet still feel self-critical, tense, or afraid of letting others down.

Perfectionism often develops early and can be closely linked with anxiety, people-pleasing, and burnout.

You might notice:

  • Harsh self-criticism

  • Fear of failure or disappointing others

  • Difficulty resting or slowing down

  • Feeling like nothing is ever quite enough
