Perfectionism (philosophy)

Perfectionism is when someone wants everything to be perfect all the time. Think about when you color a picture and you want it to be perfect, not even one spot outside the lines. Sometimes, people who think like this want everything in their lives to be perfect too, like their grades at school, their work at a job, or even their relationships with friends and family. They want to be the very best at everything they do and can be very hard on themselves if they don't meet their own high standards. While it's good to want to do your best, it's important to remember that no one is perfect and it's okay to make mistakes sometimes.
