Have you thought about the possibility that perhaps this is tied to your self worth? I’ve noticed in myself that at times when I’ve felt low (re:self esteem) those are the times when I have the most perfectionist tendencies.
It’s like I am trying to compensate for how I’m feeling inside and I have to be perfect to do that. Like...being perfect in one area makes me feel better about how UN-perfect I may feel I am in general.
So now, when I feel those perfectionism tendencies creeping in, I take a hard look at myself and see where there’s unhappiness or feelings of insecurity in my life.
Just a thought
