I can beat the best at noodling sentences or setting up rooms until they are just perfect for the occasion. But what I’ve come to learn over the last few years is that being a perfectionist is basically a bad habit—a habit that eats up my day and pigeonholes me in ways I sometimes fail to recognize. This isn’t an easy admission—I used to pride myself on being a perfectionist. I was always taught to strive to present and be my best self. But over the years, I’ve learned how truly draining it can be to strive for perfection at every turn. 我是完美主义者。为了精确表达意思，我会反复遣词造句；为了符合特定场合，我会不厌其烦地布置房间，谁也没有我能折腾。可是，近几年我明白了，完美主义其实是个坏习惯。事事追求完美占用了大量时间，而且脑子经常会不自觉地困在小框框里。要承认这点很不容易，我以前还觉得完美主义挺不错的。从小到大，我接受的教育都是要努力表现自己，追求卓越。可这些年我发现：每次一陷入追求完美的状态，最后都会心力憔悴。 |
