Behind every perfectionist is a person exhausted by their own standards. Just about everything in life has two sides, and perfectionism is no exception. At its core, perfectionism often comes from a deep sense of care. We care about the things that matter to us--our work, our homes, our relationships, our lives--and we want them to be the best they can be.
