Venting I have an obsession with being perfect

[vulkann]

I've always wanted everything to be perfect in my life which has left me disappointed every time. It has led me down a path of avoidance and lack of motivation because i know i cant achieve the results im looking for.

I fail to understand the point of enduring hardships in life which makes me crave ctb.

This is similar to one of my many struggles (but different). It's gone down over the years but I used to be the biggest perfectionist. If I didn't get an A, I hated myself. If I didn't win something in class? I hated myself

It's still there but it mostly went away on its own. I stopped it by (its cynical to say this probably) just lowering my expectations. Though that took months, its easier said than done.

I use to strive to be perfect, but I realized that I can't be, I'm just a shit stain. I wish I still believed
