The psychologist talked about the dangers of perfectionism

Striving for an unattainable ideal can cause a lot of problems for a person. Psychologist Evgenia Borodina told about this on March 7 in an interview with Gazeta.Ru».

"Perfectionism forces a person to make extremely high demands on himself and others. Working on any project will be accompanied by constant criticism and shift the focus of attention to shortcomings. At the same time, it is difficult for a person to praise himself and receive a positive assessment from the outside," she said.

At the same time, the perfectionist will have a similar attitude towards the colleagues with whom he has to work. So, he will always only find flaws and mistakes, while forgetting about the praise.

High competition, both in work and in school, contributes to the development of perfectionism and the habit of constantly comparing oneself with others. Such people are very often faced with the fear of mistakes and a negative reaction from the outside.

"There are no perfect people. Everyone has changeable emotions and moods. A perfectionist expects predictability and stability from a partner. High expectations, demands and criticality towards a partner lead to conflicts, distrust and a decrease in self—esteem for both partners in a couple," the specialist pointed out.

Earlier in the day, clinical psychologist Daria Salnikova told whether it is possible to trust a partner after cheating. According to her, people are often engaged in thinking and forecasting, which negatively affects the state of the psyche. Regarding the return of the relationship, the psychologist noted that it is worth approaching the issue from the perspective of an investigator — to observe whether a person is really changing, trust the facts, and not rush headlong into the pool.
