Help Me, I'm a Perfectionist: Embrace your imperfections and master self-acceptance

• "Perfectionism is a good thing that leads to success."
• "Perfectionists are always in control and never make mistakes."
• "Perfectionism is a personality trait that can't be changed."
• "Perfectionism is a sign of high standards and a strong work ethic."

Do you frequently hear sentiments like this?

You're not the only one - many of us believe perfectionism is a positive trait.

But researchers are finding that it's nothing short of dangerous, leading to a long list of health problems - and it's on the rise.

If you struggle with perfectionism, you're not alone.

The disposition begins at a young age, and it's getting more common...

The first study to examine perfectionism over generations, conducted by Thomas Curran and Andrew Hill, indicated significant increases in perfectionism among more recent undergraduates in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada from 1989 to 2016.

In other words, a college student this year is considerably more likely to be perfectionistic than a student in the 1990s or early 2000s.

The rise of perfectionism doesn't imply that each generation is growing more accomplished, but rather the opposite - that our society is changing, and so is our sense of personal identity.

But it doesn't have to be that way. You can break free.
