Question

Absolutely, perfectionists sometimes avoid challenges for fear of failing. A girl once told me, 'I don't want to try out for the musical because people might find out that my singing isn't perfect." Perfectionism triggers anxiety, and while a small amount of anxiety can be motivating in some circumstances, too much anxiety can be disabling. When perfectionism is reduced, people are more willing to take a risk and try something new, even though it may be very challenging​

Answer 1

Hey there!

Perfectionists are always afraid of what others will think about them. They fear that everything they do might not be "perfect" enough for others and that they will be criticized for their mistakes. Perfectionism can cause anxiety. When perfectionism is reduced, people aren't afraid to make mistakes and try new things.

Hope it helps, and sorry, I have to go now. I have an essay on culture, and a presentation, and another one about the Emancipation Proclamation, and another one about the impact of humans...

Goodbye!

Have a great day!
