Perfectionism
Hi guys! I'm new here :) I struggle with perfectionism and every small mistake can lead me to doubt my overall ability, lowering my self-esteem as a result. Does anyone have any tips on how to be kinder to yourself and more confident? My perfectionism is bad and I would feel guilty for not being productive, making me think I'm a failure.
Have a nice day~

Hi Moobear ☺️
I can Share some tips that my psycologist told me:
- give a name to your inner critic. You can tell sometimes to that voice "i know you are trying to help but critics is not what Inneed right now"
- also, try to talk to yourself as if you are talking to a good friend or partner. Probably you say things to yourself that you wouldn't say to someone you love
- and also remember that you have value and worth for just existing.
Hope it helps.
Wish you all the best
Hugs
