Thank you for the insights and sharing your personal story here. I think it takes some courage to be open and honest. The letter got me thinking that I am very picky on myself (gotta talk right and look right and etc right) and hence on other people in my life too. Which makes me feel uncomfortable. Learning now to see the real people with their imperfections just as part of them, not as flaws, and I think it will help me be more kind to myself and be fine with my own imperfections too.

Thank you - I’ve been trying to unpick perfectionism from all parts of my life as it’s debilitating, so I needed to read this today. ♥️
