Perfectionism and self-doubt

完美主义和自我怀疑

Recently, someone said to me, "Perfectionism isactually Failurism."

最近有人对我说，“完美主义实际上是失败主义。”

Why? Because when you are a perfectionist, you constantly doubt yourself.

为什么？因为当你是完美主义者时，你会不断地怀疑自己。

You look for the failure in your life and attempt to fix it. Then you have to deal with all the failures that crop up from your attempt to fix the last failure.

你会寻找生活中的失败然后试图去修复它。然后，你还得去处理上次你试图去修复结果却失败了的事情。

It is a destructive and unnecessary cycle.

这是种破坏性和不必要的循环。

If you're always focusing on the negative, your mind begins to identify with that. Why not try focusing mostly on the positive?

如果你总是把注意力集中在负面的事情上，你的大脑就会开始识别这些事情。为什么不试着去关注正面的事情呢？
