Wanting to be perfect is normal. What’s extreme is expecting to be perfect in all aspects of life. “Perfectionism is an act of control. If things are perfect, they feel more ordered, more in control," says Dr. Domar. "Some people tolerate a lack of control; perfectionists feel overwhelmed by it.”

Some characteristics of perfectionists:
  • Intensely competitive
  • “All or nothing” approach
  • Procrastination
  • Fault-finding
