I Always Feel Like i’m not Good Enough, no Matter how Hard i Try. my Perfectionism is Draining me Emotionally and Making me Feel Like a Failure. What can i do to Stop This Cycle?

Dear friend, your feelings are completely valid and you’re not alone in this struggle. Perfectionism can be a heavy burden to carry, but remember – your worth is not defined by perfection. You are already enough, just as you are. Let me offer you a warm hug and some gentle advice: Start by practicing self-compassion. Treat yourself with the same kindness you’d show a dear friend. Celebrate small wins and progress, not just final results. Set realistic goals and remember that mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow. Take breaks to recharge and remind yourself that you’re human, not a machine. You are valuable, capable, and deserving of love – not because you’re perfect, but because you’re you. Take a deep breath, and know that it’s okay to be a work in progress. You’re doing better than you think, and I believe in you.
