My first response on this site! Yay!

As for your post... a hard feat! I am a therapist and I convince myself aloud daily that I am just as imperfect as everyone else, all while subconsciously trying to attain perfection. I think for me it's the constant need to look "in-order" and having all answers that I help others better themselves with. At the end of the day, I am sometimes disappointed that I was not more openly honest about my imperfections.
