I have suffered with it a lot, still perhaps do at times. Tho there is no perfect, it is a myth, and illusion. And one that chasing after sets you up to fail because it isn't there to be had. Not only is no human perfect, nothing in the world is perfect, or in nature. There is no such thing as a perfect circle, a perfect snowflake.

letting go of the idea that it even exists seems to help a lot, for me at least. And also just forcing myself to walk away from things after they are done well enough and see what happens. You know what happens? It turns out the same as it would have if I kept pushing for perfect... or better, because sometimes the strive for perfection ruins what was good when it was good enough.

This was a big issue for me with anorexia, art work, cleaning, yoga even , every area of my life. But as I have been able to let it go I feel much more fulfilled, and satisfied. Confident.. Working on your self esteem would probably allow you to accept who you are, doesn't have to be faults or good/ bad parts. They are just your parts, they don't need to be judged.

If you try to stand on a pillar that doesn't exist you will not be standing very long at all. And no one should expect you to either. I think we hold ourselves to this, other don't really hold us to it, even if we feel they do. Perfectly imperfect here and there.. makes you human, and humans like other humans. Perfectly imperfect is probably the only time perfect exists.
